When closing a text file using Text_IO in the GNAT implementation of
Ada95, you always get an Ascii form feed appended to the file.  Is this
a new requirement for Ada9X, or did earlier Ada compilers just not do
this in general?  

This makes it impossible to use text_io to generate files that can be 
read by many other tools.  :-(    Is there anyway to get around this?
I tried to set_page_length to 0, but this has no effect.
