[QUOTE="Arthur J. O'Dwyer, post: 1696384"]
I hereby give you permission to call me by my first name only. ;-)

And I have no idea what you mean by that, so I'll leave it for the
moment.  However, re: Dan's reply: getchar() returns either a 'char'
value, cast to 'int', or it returns EOF, which is a negative 'int'
value unequal to any 'char' value.  Right?
  My #definitions above provide exactly enough numbers to do this
job: the range of 'char', which is signed, goes from -32767 to 32767,
and EOF is the 'int' value -32768.  So if you were talking only about
the "EOF-and-getchar issue," you were wrong, AFAICT.

However, since I posted that message I noticed a post elsethread
talking about the <ctype.h> functions, which expect to be passed an
'unsigned char' value, cast to 'int'.  That complicates things, or
 ^^^^^^^^
so I thought... but now I'm not so sure about that, either.  I think
I'm really going to need the C&V here, or you're going to have to
show me a piece of code that pokes large holes in my #definitions.
