Recently there was a complaint about the behavior of Telix's SALT
language, particularly regarding the fgets() function. I passed it
along to Colin Sampaleanu, and here is his reply:

The SALT fgets function is just a call to the C fgets function.
Normally, Ctrl-Z's would be eliminated by this. I do however open the
file in binary mode, and it would appear that my C compiler does _not_
check for Ctrl-Z when a file is opened in binary mode, even for a
function like fgets, which is usually used to get ASCII text. Therefore
I'll have to add code for the next release to check for it...

Hope this helps. For them as is interested, Colin uses Zortech's C
compiler, minus the C++ extensions.
