If we are talking about FileTextLines
     CAutoFile hFile = CreateFile(sFilePath, GENERIC_READ,

If I toppost I do it because:
  * I don't have time to edit out irrelevant context and signatures
  * I expect you to remember the context for my email messages
  * I want you do the work to figure out what I said
  * My time is more important than your time
