Are you transferring these files from someplace else?
I think that they don't have the required carriage return,
line feed characters on the end of the line. So IDL thinks
this file contains one line. This can happen when UNIX
ASCII files are transferred improperly to Windows machines,
for example. Alternatively, you could use a FORMAT keyword
on your READF statement to read the file.

Cheers,

David
