Two questions, one which I had asked long ago but have forgotten
the answer to:

1. I am reading a file and sending it over a TCP connection. That means
I have to convert newline's to CR/LF and not take any non-ASCII
characters. Assuming that the file I am reading has been typed in
TeachText or some other text editor, what will be the easiest way to
read it in the right format? (I am assuming that autowraps don't count
here and that they are not in the file I am reading. Correct me if this
is mistaken).

2. This file reading is going to be done by a device driver during accRun
time. Is it possible to leave the file open between accRun calls? In other
words, can I open the file into the system heap so that it wont be closed
when an application exits?

Sorry if these are repeats of old questions.
