FWIW, the POSIX standard specifies

        The following macro name is defined as a negative integral constant 
expression:
                EOF     End-of-file return value.

I've never heard of an implementation not using -1, though.

I'm not sure what the point is here, but have you considered that the
input might be either signed or unsigned char?  If it's signed, this
coding won't work.
