----- text -----
* (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.
