What is the best method for reading variable-length records from a file, using Ada (generic Ada, or GNAT)? I have some files, from
a VMS system, that I want to read on a Win2K system. The files have the VMS standard "implied carriage control", which means that
each "record" (or line; it's a text file) has a two-byte count value, followed by "count" bytes (characters).
