AAMOF, on disk files, so does windows ( nt, windows 16 was just the
gui ) and MSDOS, it is the C library implementation which does the
magic stuff.

But NT ands it users are always problematic. My running problem with
them is how an OS which has been unicode ( 16 ) from the start makes
it so difficult for their users to spit UTF-8 files ( without the
pseudo-bom at the start ).
