I definitely remember that old MS-DOS programs would treat Ctrl-Z as an

I believe that Windows (at least up to Windows XP) still supports using
ctrl-Z as EOF when reading text files.
It does, at least when the Ctrl Z is the sole contents of a "line".
And it's a pain. :-(
As a practical matter, when entering text in a console window the F6 key
generates Ctrl Z.
