A complement...

- Philosophical ? Is it less tangible or don't you believe it will
work ? No problem, the Manual _guarantees_ that End_Error will be raised
at time!

- Aesthetic ?
    ...
    begin
      for i in inbuf'range loop
        Read( infile, inbuf(i) );
        readpos:= readpos + 1;
      end loop;
    exception
      when End_Error => null;  -- nothing, we just reached EOF
    end;
    ...
