-------------------
The new function read_data is designed to work
correctly with unix, mac, and windows type text files.
read_data uses the new functions read_line
(a replacement for the current Maxima function readline)
and print_line (a replacement for the current
Maxima function printline).
------------------------------------------
read_data only calls the new function read_line,
which is a replacement for Maxima's readline.
The new function print_file correctly treats mac,
windows and unix files, and is a replacement
for Maxima's printfile.
