I also agree that TextFile makes more sense than CrLfFileStream. The latter is not part of the standard, and could be deprecated, and implemented as a TextFile. Allowing a CrLfFileStream to be a binary stream seems bogus, but maybe there is a reason.</DIV><BR><DIV> <SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: auto; -khtml-text-decorations-in-effect: none; text-indent: 0px; -apple-text-size-adjust: auto; text-transform: none; orphans: 2; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; "><DIV>Andrew P.
