Not exactly; 254 is the max if you don't sepcify a "max" up to the Carriage Return.

If all lines in the file are not more than, say, 300 bytes, then you can:

m.cBuff = FGETS( m.nHandle, 300 )

which will retrieve 1 line at a time, up to the next CR, as long as the line is not greater than 300 bytes (otherwise, you only get the next 300 bytes).
