Hi!

To solve the problem pointed out be Jupp, I have enable read() function to
read multi-lines until a user-define "EOF" is met in a _single_ line. The
syntax is like the following:

# from standard input:

string = read( "<<MyEOF" ); # the user-defined "EOF" should be prefixed by
"<<"
read( string, "<<MyEOF" ); # the order of the parameters is not important,
# but should not be more than 2.
# from files:

string = file.read( "<<MyEOF" );
file.read( string, "<<MyEOF" );

The new binaries for linux can be downloaded from cvs in SF:
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/taoscript/TaoScript/bin/
(pay attention to the time tag of the files)

Cheers,

Limin
