        this code analyses the first 5*1024 bytes of data from a file and tells which break type it uses, or if it's a binary file...

  TBreakType = ( btNone, btWin, btMac, btLin, btBin );

---------

function GetBreakType( const Filename: string; const MaxDataToRead: Cardinal = 5*1024 ): TBreakType;
var
  FS: TFileStream;
  Buffer, BufferStart, BufferEnd: PChar;
begin
  Result := btNone;
  if not FileExists( Filename ) then
    raise Exception.Create( 'GetBreakType: nome de arquivo invÃ¡lido' );
  try
    FS := TFileStream.Create( Filename, fmOpenRead );
    GetMem( Buffer, MaxDataToRead+1 );
    BufferEnd := ( Buffer + FS.Read( Buffer^, MaxDataToRead ) );
    BufferStart := Buffer;
    BufferEnd^ := #0;
  except
    raise Exception.Create( 'GetBreakType: erro alocando memÃ³ria.' );
  end;
  try
    while Buffer^ <> #0 do begin
      if Result = btNone then
        if Buffer^ = ASCII_CR then begin
          if (Buffer+1)^ = ASCII_LF then begin
            Result := btWin;
