Today I arranged for my NeoConsole code (that normally works over a network connection) to work over stdio. Although I am not yet happy with every aspect of the implementation, it does work (using unaltered Zn streams and code).

In the above, I do not depend on EOF - just to be clear. The point being that there is no immediate fundamental problem. But there is something wrong with what is returned by Stdio stdin Sven
