This section is only applicable to the Windows platform.

The Windows OS is historically burdened by the presence of the concept of
text-files and binary files. A binary file is what on all other platforms
is simply a file, and a text-file is a file with the following properties:
- Whenever a line ends, the characters NEWLINE and CARRIAGE RETURN are
  present in combination. On a proper OS, this is irrelevant, and only
  the newline is present.
- The character CTRL_Z, when present, is an end-of-file indicator.
  This should never have happened, as it introduces two completely different
  ways of telling a program that a file is at an end, for no good purpose.

TV is set up to treat files differently, under complete control of the user.
For this purpose, separate settings are created for reading and writing.
By default, TV attempts to read files as text-files (which is the most
common occurrence), and writes them as binary files. This makes the whole
issue as transparent as possible, and it works well in most circumstances.
When files written as binaries by TV are read by a program like Notepad,
however, things fall apart. If that is necessary, please modify the
setting for writing files to 'text'. The biggest danger of all is reading
a binary file with a CTRL_Z terminator in it as a text file. Anything after
the CTRL_Z is not read!
