Hi,

I have modified the behaviour of Eof() that way in revision #2940. Now it 
should work as intelligently as feof(), even more. (for example, if you open a 
void file, feof() will return FALSE, where Eof() will return TRUE).

If anybody using processes, sockets, or other non-file streams get unexpected 
behaviours, please tell me!

Regards,
