But how do you make this compatible across different operating
systems? The DJGPP version of fflush returns "0" on success and "-1"
on failure. I see that Redhat linux, cygwin, and SunOS 4.1 all return
EOF on failure and "0" on success. So you would probably be better off
using "if (fflush(f) != 0)".
