How can csh detect EOF on stdin?

What's the csh equivalent of the /bin/sh:
while :
do
read INPUT_LINE
if test $? -ne 0; then break; fi # EOF, exit loop
# not EOF, process the line ...
done
After "set input_line = $<", $status is always 0. My system doesn't have
the line(1) program, so that's not an acceptable alternative. Also note
that the input may contain blank (zero length) lines, so testing $input_line
== '' doesn't work right.
Thanks,
