Hello,

I've made an application with Delphi 4 for PC+windows. This application
draws mathematics graphics. It saves the graphics as text files, using
writeln(FileName,strings). When I open the file, I use Readln for each line
and the graphic is rebuilt.

A user sent me such a text file, but created under Virtual PC with a
mac-os.x.
The text file is not exactly the same as the text files made under windows :
each end of line is CR LF on a PC, but CR CR LF on the mac. This
particularity causes a trouble when you want to read the file. Each line of
the text file is interpreted as two lines : the normal line, then an empty
line so that my application cannot read correctly the file.

Is there anybody knowing this problem ? How can I do to solve this ? My
application is destined to french speaking teachers and is free. You can
find it below.

Thanks in advance.
