There is a bug in Floppy in that it does not do EOL conversion on COPYFILE.
This is why your floppies have the wrong eol.  Patch: (ADVISE
'(\PFLOPPY.SETFILEINFO IN \PFLOPPY.OPENFILE) 'BEFORE '(AND (EQ ATTRIBUTE
'EOL) (RETURN))).

I assume the premature end of file occurs because the semi-colon reader
never finds an eol (i.e., you must be breaking underneath cmlreadsemi).
