When one FWRITE's records shorter than the defined record size, ASCII
files are right-filled with blanks, 0x20, and BINARY files with zeros,
0x00.
Also, the ASCII/BINARY attribute controls the legality of some other
options, CCTL being the first (maybe only?) that comes to mind - you
can't build a BINARY file with CCTL.
