EOF is not true on a reset empty file.

for GPC. gpc 20040516, based on gcc-3.3.3 I just found in the book PASCAL User Manual and Report, Fourth Edition ISO Pascal Standard, Kathleen Jensen and Niklaus Wirth 1991 page 158: "A file is called \emph{empty} if its length is zero." As you can see in the previous email, I created two empty files with echo -n "" > filename and then showed by three tests (file, ls and wc) that they were empty. In the GPC compiled program, I reset each file and then tested them and found that each was not at eof. Regards, Tom Dr. Thomas D.
