Subj: File size                      Conf: (2) Quik_Bas

-> I know LOF shows the size in bytes.  What I want to know is how many
-> lines there are in an ASCII text file that I open.  I

        A way to do this is to open the file as binary and
read in so many K chunks of the file at a time and use
INSTR$ to count CR/LF pairs.

        Let me know if you want to see the code and I will
look harder for it (can't seem to find it right now).
