Your guess is as good as mine, since the example uses functions
that (AFAIK) have not actually been implemented.  This sort of
construct was standard for Pascal programs, though, so it should
be possible.  An error status doesn't get set for the file till
you actually try to read beyond the end of file.

(had to look that up.  Didn't remember what Pascal looked like.)
