Does FPC use #26 as EOF marker? I use a loop that calls Read until it meets EOF, and right before the loop ends, #26 is met. This happens at least on Windows (other platforms untested).

code:
// Please redirect output from a file
var
  c: Char;
begin
  while not EOF do Read(c);
end.

The behaviour for each platform is described by the CtrlZMarksEOF
Boolean constant.

It is documented :-)

Only on platforms that traditionally use #26 as EOF marker. Afaik, these are Dos, Windows and OS/2.

There is a global variable in the system unit called CtrlZMarksEOF that you can set to false if you want to disable this behaviour.

Well, if we had CP/M target in FPC, sure...
