READF.

They claim READ_ASCII is much faster in 5.4 too. I can't confirm that
because I seldom use it. Perhaps I should...

P.S. I hope I am not violating the 5.4 beta confidentiality agreement with
any of this. I got a "What's New in 5.4" sheet with my maintenance renewal
in the mail the other day so I presume new features in 5.4 are more-or-less
public.
