Is there anyone out there who knows how to read text files containing
eight-bit characters using VAX Ada? I have used UNCHECKED_CONVERSION and
TEXT_IO to write eight-bit characters into text files, but attempts to read
any files with eight-bit characters causes a DATA_ERROR exception.

I've come across this problem several times over the past few years, and it
sure would be nice if I knew a solution.

Please send your responses to "diederich_r_%ncsd.dnet@gte.com"

Thanks in advance!
