David,
you once wrote a nice little programme called Read_Tab_Lines which may
be of some use here:
http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.idl-pvwave/msg/7b09 330c920aefea
I'm not sure how ReadF handles cross-platform compatability regarding
carriage return / line feed use to determine where a row ends.
Sometimes ReadF seems to stop at the end of a row for me; sometimes it
thinks the whole file is one row, even if I can *see* the carriage
returns in it when I open it in WordPad.
Regards,
Chris
