Loading ascii text files with $EFBBBF prefix

Hi!

I have to load plain ascii text file but it has a 3 byte prefix
$EFBBBF wich gives me trouble so I have to strip that.

I could manualy skip those 3 chars, but would like to have more
general approach. I am aware of unicode prefixes $FEFF and $FFFE and
have Peter Below's routine for such files, but is there a more general
routine for loading text files which can handle all such posible
options?

tomi.
