I have these lines from binary.sl.
Perhaps you should change it there, too.

Ohh.. I have overlooked this! Thanks for the warning!

To clumsy to type in. Is there a do_before_fileread_hook or something
similar?
With this hook I could look at the command arguments, detect '--binary'
and then do automatically set_file_translation(1)


I have now:

root@fex:/sw/ubuntu-12.04/jed-0.99-20_116/bin# cat jedb
#!/bin/sh
exec jed -f 'set_file_translation(1)' "$@" --binary
