Help reading MAC ASCII in windows [message #18494]

I am using IDL on an NT windows machine. I want to read ASCII files that
were created on a MAC. The normal End of Line (EOL) for windows in a
CR/LF. The MAC file only has a single CR.

When IDL tries to read this type of file it gets only the first record.
It ignors the records after the CR. Most likely it is expecting a LF.

Can "readf" be set to recognize the single CR as the EOL and
consequently read the remaining records correctly?

Is there a way to tell readf that the EOL is a single CR?

thanks-Peter Brooker
