Some file functions can be used with redirected
textfile input from a windows console.
(prog.exe -con < input.txt)
freadc, freadi, freadr all fail at "end-of-file".
So this works fine:
countchars console count
# (ok, c, console) = freadc console
| not ok = count // "end-of-input"
= countchars console (count+1)
The "buffered" reads (freads, freadsubstring,
freadline) don't seem to be consistent with this
behaviour. They don't recognise "end-of-file".
best wishes, Isaac
