* $DESCRIPTION$
* MEMOREAD() is a function that reads the content of a text file (till
* now) from disk (floppy, HD, CD-ROM, etc.) into a memory string.
* In that way you can manipulate as any character string or assigned
* to a memo field to be saved in a database.
*
* MEMOREAD() function is used together with MEMOEDIT() and MEMOWRIT()
* to get from disk text from several sources that would be edited,
* searched, replaced, displayed, etc.
*
* It is used to import data from other sources to our database.
*
* Note:
* MEMOREAD() does not use the settings SET DEFAULT or SET PATH to
* search for <cFileName>.
* It searches for <cFileName> in the current directory.
* If the file is not found, then MEMOREAD() searches in the DOS path.
*
* Over a network, MEMOREAD() attempts to open <cFileName> in read-only
* mode and shared. If the file is used in mode exclusive by another
* process, the function will returns a null string ("").
* $EXAMPLES$
* * This example uses MEMOREAD() to assign the contents of a text
* file to a character variable for later search
*

* Write a memo field or character string to a text file on disk

* MEMOWRIT( <cFileName>, <cString>, [<lWriteEof>] ) --> lSuccess
* $ARGUMENTS$
* <cFileName> is the filename to read from disk.
* It must include the file extension. If file to be read
* lives in another directory, you must include the path.
*
* <cString> Is the memo field or character string, to be write to
* <cFile>.
*
* <lWriteEof> Is a logic variable that settle if the "end of file"
* character - CHR(26) - is written to disk.
* This parameter is optional. By default is true (.T.)
* $RETURNS$
* Function returns true (.T.) if the writing operation was successful;
* otherwise, it returns false (.F.).
* $DESCRIPTION$
* This a function that writes a memo field or character string to a
* text file on disk (floppy, HD, CD-ROM, etc.)
* If you not specified a path, MEMOWRIT() writes <cFileName> to the
* current directory. If <cFileName> exists, it is overwritten.
*
* There is a third parameter (optional), <lWriteEof>, (not found in
* CA-Cl*pper) which let to programmer change the default behavior of
* - allways - to write the EOF character, CHR(26) as in CA-Cl*pper.
*
* If there is no third parameter, nothing change, EOF is written as
* in CA-Cl*pper, the same occurs when <lWriteEof> is set to .T.
* But, if <lWriteEof> is set to .F., EOF char is Not written to the
* end of the file.
*
* MEMOWRIT() function is used together with MEMOREAD() and MEMOEDIT()
* to save to disk text from several sources that was edited, searched,
* replaced, displayed, etc.
*
* Note that MEMOWRIT() do not use the directory settings SET DEFAULT.
