Hi!
I hope I'm asking the right question in the right group.
I have a problem with a piece of C++ code that runs well under Linux 
(gcc 2.96) but doesn't run as expected in Windows (Borland C++ 5.5.1):
Here's the code:
**********
int num;
ifstream in_file;
in_file.open("whatever.txt");
while (!in_file.eof())
     cin >> num;
**********
Example input:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7EOF -> Linux OK; Windows not
1 2 3 4 5 6 7
EOF         -> Linux & Windows OK
In Linux it reads right to the end of the file. But in Windows it misses 
the last number (7) unless there's a newline character at the end of the 
last line to be read. If I replace "int num" with "char num" the it 
works as it should. What am I missing here?
Thanks in advance,
Karlo.
