Peter Amey says

"You might like to know that this isn't Ada95 specific: the text_io
supplied with Ada83 compilers from Alsys and DEC behave differently
on the example you give and give a different count of the number of lines
in a file if if has blank lines before the end of file.  The VAX compiler
sees these empty lines but the Alsys does not."


There is confusion here. This is a clear bug (the difference in behaviors
of the two compilers in Text_IO). This is nothing at all to do with Ada 83
or Ada 95.
