How it got "broke"...

[Chris Sylvain]

[]
Why "while( fputc(fgetc(fd), fe) != EOF )" quit working as it
did under both 2.9BSD and Ultrix 1.2 ...
1)  At the end of file, fgetc() returns (int) -1.
2)  fputc() prints (char) -1 and then returns a CHAR not an INT.

Naturally, (int) -1 != (char) -1, so we have a problem.
Question is now: can I deduce that under 2.9BSD and Ultrix
in the above code fragment there is an implied cast, i.e.,
(char) EOF or (int) fputc() ?

[thanks to everyone who responded to the previous posting.]
