JJ,

You already have to : a 'ReadLine' will cause a vbCR EOL file to be read all 
at once.   Which ofcourse will also happen with files which simply do not 
have EOLs.

But if the storage size is what would be the problem you could just read the 
stream character-by-character up until you found both the vbCR and vbLF 
chars (or reach EOF).  Instead of the cost being storage space it would be 
time.

Have you already tried to create such a file and open it with write.exe ?  I 
did, and it looks pretty normal.  Not so much when using (XP's) notepad 
though.

Also, if you chose not to support such MAC-style files you still will need 
to be able to recognise them - even just so you can reject them. :-)
