The goal is NOT to copy files, it is just a skeleton for a 
program which works with a file line-by-line. I know that 
the program mishandles long lines, and that Ada treats control 
chars differently then C. Is there anything more subtle going 
on? And is there a better standard way to read a line?

I find it somewhat disturbing that reading a line take more 
CPU time then simple processing.
