I am not able to read all my downloaded records in Perl -- end of file
is sensed at record 193,  just as in Ada.

I am not able to read all my downloaded records in C when I open the
file read (ie "r"), but when I open the file read-binary (ie "r+b")all
records are read.

I have not found "stream io" explained in any book.  The RM seems
unintelligible (I don't speak Noir notation). I can't find an example
of stream io.  Isn't there an easy way of reading binary in Ada
(eg. "r+b").  I will surely loose what little sanity I have, if I have
to code in C.
