The problem about detecting an end-of-file condition is simple: DOS
doesn't supply the EOF and most applications don't write one. The
problem of not being able to determine EOF from DOS clients on a
network is most easily solved with a time-out feature.
I believe some networks also use a method that depends upon the
application returning to DOS. This is pretty annoying if it is
the only method. It also has to be performed from the client end.
