I did try the code snippet on Pharo 2.0 before posting it, it worked.

I just tried the following on Pharo 1.4, and it works as well.

FileStream fileNamed: '/tmp/foo.txt' do: [ :readStream |

�� | lineReader |
�� lineReader := ZnLineReader on: readStream.
�� Array streamContents: [ :output |
�� | line |
�� [ (line := lineReader nextLine) isEmpty ]
�� whileFalse: [ output nextPut: line ] ] ]

Maybe you tried using some FileSystem port on 1.4 that is not as complete as the code that is by default in 2.0 ?
But ZnLineReader is independent of that, it has been part of Zn since years, in Pharo 1.3 and up.
