[fa.info-mac] I/O in MacPascal

I've been trying to process MacPaint files with MacPascal, and have had
to resort to getting and putting the characters one at a time.  This is
painfully slow.

The Macintosh Read routine is what I want, but, since Read is register based,
InLineP won't call it correctly.  Has anybody found out how to call an OS
routine like Read from MacPascal?
