Hehe ;-) We're all fond of typos. The correct quote here is A.10(8).

What do you mean with "author"? Who is the author here, the
implementor (the programmer definitely cannot redefine them)? Of
course terminators are implementation defined. This is why there are
End_of_Line and End_of_Page queries. So if you want to write portable
code, use those, not CR/LF etc. This will simplify the code.

BTW: Doesn't Mac use only CR for End_of_Line? Then anon's code will
fail again.

anon: I didn't doubt that you are able to write working code. But what
do you want to demonstrate with this example? It simply does what
Get_Line does, so what is the advantage of your code? OK, it keeps all
control characters (except CR and LF and NUL) that might be present in
the input, but ruins the line and page counts that Text_IO maintains.
So what?
