gets() works fine on any kind of file.
It won't make a mess. You can use it to copy any file.
If the '\n' characters happen to be few and
far between, then the length of the "line"
that you read with gets() could be unpredictable and
very large. gets() is currently coded to run fast with
lines less than 1040 characters, but it will handle
lines of any length (as long as there's enough memory).
