I can see the use of functions with a borland-compatible syntax, like assign(),
but fail to see the link with CRLF problems. I think I fixed those.

var
  f: text

is now opened in text mode. A line is terminated with CRLF in DOS, while

type
  byte = __byte__ integer;
  bytefile = file of byte;

var
  g: bytefile;

is opened in binary mode and $0A is not silently converted to $0A$0D.

I think this solves the problems. If you think otherwise, let me know.
