O great C gurus, help a relative greenhorn! Why is it that fgets() returns NULL when it reaches end of file, whereas all the other standard i/o functions seem to return EOF at that point? This confuses me, especially since one would suppose fputs() to be the partner function of fgets() and therefore to work in the same way. Sterling Bjorndahl BJORNDAS at CLARGRAD on BITNET
