for GPC.

gpc 20040516, based on gcc-3.3.3

I just found in the book 

PASCAL User Manual and Report, Fourth Edition
ISO Pascal Standard,
Kathleen Jensen and Niklaus Wirth
1991
page 158:

   "A file is called \emph{empty} if its length is zero."

As you can see in the previous email, I created two empty files with
echo -n "" > filename and then showed by three tests (file, ls and wc)
that they were empty.  In the GPC compiled program, I reset each file
and then tested them and found that each was not at eof.

Regards,

Tom
