We really did miss something.
It appears that the file we want Pascal to read, comes from a CDC machine,
which puts extra \0 characters before every line in the file.
(Don't ask me why, I don't use that system :-))
MacWrite doesn't display those characters either, but they are there,
and you can delete them!

So, after we deleted those \0 characters, Pascal was very happy
with reading the file.
