/* fileswitch for parseargs:

 The following are masks for several different ways of opening files.
 --------------------------------------------------------------------
 Bit 0: Open infile?
 Bit 1: Open infile as binary (as opposed to text)
 Bit 2: Open outfile?
 Bit 3: Open outfile as binary (as opposed to text)
 Bit 4: Do not complain about too many file arguments
 Bit 5: Open one file for input AND output, binary.
