You may also want to have a look at CSVDocument class
(http://wiki.freepascal.org/CsvDocument). I tried to handle all corner
cases when implementing it, including line breaks within quoted text.
It is likely to be somewhat slower than sdfdataset though, since it
uses variable-length string values instead of fixed-length.
