/*  $DOC$
 *  $FUNCNAME$
 *      TFileRead()
 *  $CATEGORY$
 *      Harbour Tools
 *  $ONELINER$
 *      Read a file one line at a time
 *  $SYNTAX$
 *      oFile := TFileRead():New( <cFileName> [, <nReadSize> ] )
 *  $ARGUMENTS$
 *      <cFileName> is the required name of the file to be read.   </par>
 *
 *      <nReadSize> is the optional size to use when reading from the file.
 *      The default value is 4096 and the allowed range is 1 through 65535.
 *      Any value outside of this range causes the default value to be used.   </par>
 *  $RETURNS$
 *      An instance of the File Reader class   </par>
 *  $DESCRIPTION$
 *      TFileRead() is used to access a file one line at a time. You must
 *      specify the name of the file when an instance of the class is created.   </par>
 *      The class data should be considered private to the class.   </par>
 *
 *      The class methods are as follows:   </par>
 *
 *         New()              Creates a new instance of the TFileRead class.   </par>
 *
 *         Open([<nFlags>])   Opens the file for reading. The optional nFlags
 *                            parameter can use any of the FOPEN() flags from
 *                            fileio.ch. The default is FO_READ + FO_SHARED.
 *                            Calling this method when the file is already
 *                            open causes the next ReadLine() to start over
 *                            from the beginning of the file.   </par>

 *         Close()            Closes the file.   </par>
 *
 *         ReadLine()         Returns one line from the file, stripping the
 *                            newline characters. The following sequences are
 *                            treated as one newline: 1) CR CR LF; 2) CR LF;
 *                            3) LF; and 4) CR. Note: LF CR is 2 newlines.   </par>
 *         Name()             Returns the name of the file.   </par>
 *
 *         IsOpen()           Returns .T. if the file is open.   </par>
 *
 *         MoreToRead()       Returns .T. if there are more lines to be read
 *                            (think of it as an inverse EOF function).
 *
 *         Error()            Returns .T. if an error has occurred.   </par>
 *
 *         ErrorNo()          Returns the current error code.   </par>
 *
 *         ErrorMsg([<cPre>]) Returns a formatted error message.   </par>
