in thread Deleting EOF from a file

Thanks for your reply.

...it may well be the practice of appending ^Z to mark EOF on text-mode files has been abandoned.

I've come to that conclusion too. I'm still rooting around on Google to learn how Windows marks EOF in text files. I now have a little hex dump script so it would be useful to know.
Thanks again.
