Hi,

How do you create plain text file output with TFileStream? Or is
TFileStream reserved for binary output only?

I'm using TFileStream as follows;

  // helper function to simply things
  procedure writef(AText: string);
  begin
    AOut.WriteAnsiString(AText + LineEnding);
  end;

where AOut is the TFileStream.  But if I view the output file, it
"mostly" looks like text. Except that on each line in starts with some
random 2-3 characters.

Maybe TFileStream is not suited for plain text output, and I should
rather use the File type instead?
