  No, it *is* entirely true.  How it is translated is
completely up to the system, just like NULL - EOF == -1 and NULL ==
(void*)0, but bit patterns depend on platform.  However, that wasn't the
question.  Using the following code, how do you get it to terminate?

while ((c = getchar()) != EOF)
  putchar(c);

Answer?  Use the "EOF character" on your platform: Ctrl-D on unix
(or whatever you set it to), or Ctrl-Z on non-unix Intel.
