oh sorry, I'm confusing my Matlab and C commands.
(in Matlab fgetl() is fgets() but strips off the \n while fgets()
doesn't)

which is why for s.in.ascii I had it G_fatal_error() if it found a Mac
OS9 file..

OS9 format is heading into the past now, so I don't think changing
G_getl() as a start is worth it.
