That is incorrect.
I don't think that what I said is incorrect, at least not wrt. what I
wanted to express: Not being able to specify the encoding is probably
the most significant problem shared between these two API:s. Since
it's been established that the OP is working on ASCII data it's not a
problem in his particular case (Yay!), but it is a problem in general.

There's a substantial difference between simply passing data through
unconverted and attempting to convert it but getting the conversion
wrong.
I don't think that there is any difference, since you're
*interpreting* the data as a sequence of characters in both cases.
fgets and friends are documented to be operations on characters and
strings, not bit patterns and opaque data buffers. But perhaps best to
agree to disagree at this point, I don't think we're really getting
anywhere, and this thread is really starting to get old...
