Why is binary the default format? #21

Closed DavidNemeskey closed 8 years ago

DavidNemeskey commented 8 years ago

According to the usage page of the glove program,

-binary <int>
        Save output in binary format (0: text, 1: binary, 2: both); default 0

If 0 is text, and the default is 0, doesn't it mean that the default output should be text? However, I ran the program without specifying anything for binary, and ended up with binary output.

Oh, BTW:

int use_binary = 1;

I had this problem recently. Why was this issue closed? I think the usage should be updated to say that the default is 1.
