sed question about newline -> cr/lf conversion

[Lynn Wilson]

If I run sed on a binary executable file that perchance has \n (0xa) characters
in it, the resulting output (without substitution) has those changed to CR-LF.

Is there a way to disable this conversion?

I'm running cygwin on a MS-Win2K system.

I really don't want to modify the application to test for file type prior to
running sed on it.

thanks.
