And here's a version of Xiao-Yong Jin's implementation that cleans up
after itself (and checks for errors (though that might be overkill):

cfgets=:3 :0
 y=. {.y,999 NB. max line length
 libc=. (' ',~unxlib'c') 2 :'(m,n)&cd'
 fd=. 'dup >i i'libc 0
 if. 0>fd do.
   echo 'dup error: ',1{::cderx''
 else.
   f=. {. 'fdopen * i *c'libc fd;,'r'
   if. 0=f do.
     echo 'fdopen error: ',1{::cderx''
   else.
     buf=. mema y
     if. 0=buf do.
       echo 'mema error'
     else.
       if. 0='fgets *c *c i *' libc (<buf);y;<f do.
         echo 'fgets error: ',1{::cderx''
       else.
         r=. ({.~ i.&LF)memr buf,0,y
         if. memf buf do.
           echo 'memf error'
         else.
           if. 'fclose >i *'libc <f do.
             echo 'fclose error: ',1{::cderx''
             if. 'close >i i'libc <fd do.
               echo 'close error: ',1{::cderx''
             end.
           end.
         end.
         r
       end.
     end.
   end.
 end.
)

Only good for jconsole, but might be useful there.

Also, I've not tested this under windows. It might ({.~ <./@i.&CRLF)
on the r=. line, or maybe something more than that for windows.

Thanks,
