Subject: Re: HostFEOF() doc error?

But I observe the opposite behaviour. I.e., HostFEOF() returns 0 is *not*
at end and non-zero if at end.
Can somebody confirm this?
You can confirm it yourself; such is the wonder of free software :-).
A quick look at the Emulator's HostControl.cpp shows that (surprisingly
enough) HostFEOF() just calls through to your host's C library's feof().
Taking as read the assumption that your host is not completely insane,
we can conclude that HostFEOF() returns an indication of truth (i.e.,
non-zero) when the file is at EOF, as you have observed, just like every
other variant of feof() in the C universe.
