Hallo Reimar!
since I was looking at a similar issue yesterday night, I came across
some
statements about this in the online help. Look for "reading
files:Windows platform"
in the help index. It basically confirms what Craig said.
If nothing else helps and you *really* need to read these ASCII files
platform-
independently, you'll probably have to resort to reading it as binary
unformatted
into your own buffer, filter all CR's (13B) in case there are any, and
break the
lines at the line feeds (10B). This still leaves out the Mac World,
where they use only CR as far as I know...
Viele Gruesse,
Martin
