Determine if the file being loaded is text file. If it is a text file, then it contains a carriage-return character that's not followed by a line-feed character. To repair the damaged text file, compile the CRLF.PAS utility that comes with QuickPascal and pass the damaged file through the resulting executable file. Once CRLF.EXE exists, enter CRLF on the DOS command line to display the required command syntax.
