Did you try writing with WriteBuffer(Atext[1], length(AText)?
That works exactly like I intended. Thanks Gerard.
I spoke to soon! :-(
I can view the resulting output.txt file with Midnight Commander
(Linux console file manager), but if I try and open that file with
Gnome gEdit or Lazarus IDE, it says the file does not look like a text
file and refuses to open it. :-(
How difficult could it be to write a damn text file! :-)
If you want a text file, why do you not use a variable of type text,
instead of a TFileStream? Text is what writes a text file. I think these
streams are for saving object state, which means they are binary files
-- they only look like partial text files if the contents of the object
looks partially like text. Trying to get them to do text files would be
like trying to teach a pig to sing.
