And if some maintenance programmer drops a READ into the loop?

I prefer to always defend against the potential mistakes of others - I consider it to be part of my job in writing the program.

At the risk of being controversial, for a standard read loop I don't like
to pass the file name parameter.

There is no code between the Read and the test for End of File, it just
seems redundant to me.

Off the top of my head I don't recall the last time I actually needed to
specify this to get the code to work but I believe it was in a program with
multiple subfiles and I don't see a lot of those myself these days.
