 This class provides functions that read text datas using an input stream.
 So, you can read \it{text} floats, integers.
 
-Operator >> is overloaded and you can use this class a C++ std-iostream.
+The wxTextInputStream correctly reads text files (or streams) in DOS, Macintosh
+and Unix formats and reports a single newline char as a line ending.
+
+Operator >> is overloaded and you can use this class like a standard C++ iostream.
+Note, however, that the arguments are the fixed size types wxUint32, wxInt32 etc
+and on a typical 32-bit computer, none of these match to the "long" type (wxInt32
+is defined as int on 32-bit architectures) so that you cannot use long. To avoid
+problems (here and elsewhere), make use of the wxInt32, wxUint32, etc types.
 
 For example:
 \begin{verbatim}
+  wxFileInputStream input( "mytext.txt" );
   wxTextInputStream text( input );
   wxUint8 i1;
   float f2;
   wxString line;
 
   text >> i1;       // read a 8 bit integer.
-  text >> i1 >> f2; // read a 8 bit integer followed by float. 
+  text >> i1 >> f2; // read a 8 bit integer followed by float.
   text >> line;     // read a text line
 \end{verbatim}
