There are probably two cases here: native (for PDP-10) and cross (for
C4X).  What format are binary files written to from C on these targets?  
(The C standard models binary files as sequences of (C-level target)  
bytes, but I don't know what runtime these targets use.)  What happens to
such files when transferred to a conventional 8-bit byte host?
