I doubt it. If EOF were out of range of char, it would have to be -129 or less, so that -127 would look even more wrong. I see EOF is just -1. That value will also be produced by '\xFF', or "\xff"[0], etc. This -127 displacement is worth looking into; there is a smell emanating from it. -- Problem reports: https://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: https://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: https://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: https://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
