This is not true at all. getch is defined to return a value which
is not a legal character value upon encountering EOF. This value
is what is defined as EOF in the stdio.h. Although it is generally
true that EOF is -1 it is not defined to be such by the language and
any program which tests for -1 instead of EOF is wrong!
