ctrl-\ is not an end of file character !!!!

ctrl-\ has nothing to do with files !

It is interpreted as meaning the end of input from the console and that is all.
It causes the corresponding read on that console to return 0 which is not an
error, but no bytes were read. This is then interpreted by the application as
meaning there is no more data to read from this source. It is not an end of
file marker because the only things it applies to are NOT files.

An End Of File character is the ^Z you see in MSDOS files and old CPM stuff.

So I will back up Randell ->
	There is no "end of file" character in amigados.
