var f : TEXT; { same as FILE OF CHAR, I think }
Not exactly. TEXT is line oriented, whereas FILE OF CHAR is not.TEXT incorporates built_in functions writeln, readln and eoln which enable to manage with the same Pascal instructions files on different systems which have different line end delimiters (Line Feed in Unix, Return-Line Feed in DOS, Return for MAC I guess). With File Of char you have to do it manually and thus know what is the line delimiter on your system. You have the same problem when FTPing ASCII files in binary, then the line end delimiter transformation is not done.
Oh, yes, I agree ! That was just, what I found in Pascal-Book. But I think without looking at the built-in functions it is the same (however VERY similar) :-)
