Wow, now *that's* lazy... :-)

What confuses me is how you can be 'too lazy' to check if Ctrl-D works, but apparently checking if Ctrl-C works is much much easier....

I haven't run into a platform where CTRL-C doesn't work. Therefore saying "ctrl-C" required no effort on my part. "none" < "some". :-)


  Well, that plus the "Ctrl-d doesn't work on all platforms" bit.  Are we
still talking posix here or no?

Well, now that you made me go look, I can't find the platform that doesn't like ctrl-D... but I know I've had problems in the past. Maybe it was NSK. ;-)
