-Doug Gwyn replied to the posting but did not comment on this sentence.

Yes, I did.

-There is a reason why Mr. Gwyn did not comment on that particular
-sentence.  If sizeof(int)==sizeof(char), indeed it is possible that the
-input stream might contain a bit pattern that compares equal to the
-value of EOF.  The programmer must test feof().  I believe Mr. Gwyn
-once remarked that he found this distasteful but got used to it.

I also responded to Karl's followup that you cited.  Your last sentence
does not reflect what I said about the situation.
