This worked with Ultrix 1.2: while( fputc( fgetc(fd), fe) != EOF ); But is broken with 4.3BSD [!!] on the same microVAX ... The char M-^? is written endlessly to the "fe" file. M-^? means 8th bit set, lower 7 bits == ^? ... <stdio.h> says: #define EOF (-1) fputc and fgetc are int functions, and fgetc is supposed to return EOF at the end of the file. I fixed my code by using feof(fd) ... Am I right by saying the above code fragment by rights should still work ? -- --==---==---==-- .. Long time the manxome foe he sought -- ..
