These are the PragmAda Reusable Components. Package PragmARC.Text_IO handles 
files with 3 kinds of line terminators:

    type EOL_ID is (DOS_Windows_EOL, Mac_EOL, Unix_EOL);
    -- Used to specify what line terminator to use on output
    -- DOS_Windows_EOL = CR-LF
    -- Mac_EOL         = CR
    -- Unix_EOL        = LF

For reading, it automatically handles EOLs of all 3 kinds, which may be mixed in 
the same file (though I've never encountered this). For output, when the files 
is created/opened, the desired EOL kind is specified.

The PragmARCs are at
