 *      (The '+1' is to match up with HyperCard's 1-based counting
 *      convention, rather than the 0-based C convention!!)
 *      If the file isn't big enough or if textPtr is too near the
 *      beginning or end of the file, cut off the retrieved text
 *      at that boundary and insert the words {beginning of database}
 *      or {end of database}.  FILTER OUT ANY '\0' characters in
 *      the text that is returned, to avoid problems; also
 *      filter out any tabs, since HC mistreats them in its display;
 *      and turn any linefeeds ('\n' = 0x0A) to returns ('\r' = 0x0D),
 *      for compatibility in reading indexed files from UNIX hosts.
 *      Restrict textChunkSize to <32000 bytes.  After the text, on
 *      a separate line, return three numbers:  the byte number of
 *      the first char returned relative to the beginning of the text
 *      file, the actual offset within the characters returned
 *      of the originally-requested textPtr, and the byte number
 *      of the character after the last char returned relative to
 *      the beginning of the text file.
