yes, ^Z is really the DOS EOF character.
Dont know if they changed it in the last few years but
you can easilly check this (in MS-DOS) by
copy con: somefile
typing a few lines,
and pressing ctrl-Z on a LINE BY ITSELF.
maybe you aren't pressing ctrl-D on a
line by itself? Usually strings with
ctrl-d at the end wont work. You
can easilly check this by (in Unix/Linux):
cat > /dev/null
note: ctrl-z on unix (on most unix shells
anyway) sends a suspend signal to the
foreground process so you might be confused
to see your test program going into
background.
I think all of these can be reset by
the command stty (in Unix/Linux).
stty -a
should display the current OEF charachter.
