--- Comment #7 from Joel Anderson <joelanderson333 at gmail dot com> ---
I do think that it is important to note that the two new patches alter windmc
behavior to accept a file where the period is immediately followed by a EOF
instead of a newline or carriage return and newline. These types of files are
rejected by current versions of mc.exe, which is what I was using the
'premature EOF' attachment to test against myself.

While the new patches are more forgiving to the user and perhaps a better way
to handle the scenario, they do not match mc.exe behavior. I can see arguments
for both cases, but just want to make sure that it is a deliberate choice to
deviate windmc's behavior from that of mc.exe.
