C question

Posted by Bernie Siegrist on 1999-09-16

Let's say I have the following ANSI-C code...

#include <stdio.h>
char Ch ;
FILE *File1 ;
void main()
{
   File1 = fopen("guestbook.html","r+") ;
   if (!File1)
   {
     // Error message here
   } else {
     while (!feof(File1))
     {
       putc(getc(File1),stdout) ;
     }
     fclose(File1) ;
   }
}

This works fine, except that it appends a #255 at the end of the output. 
The funny thing is that this only happens on Unix systems, not in 
DOS/Windoze. Why this?? (If I'm making some dumb mistake please forgive me, 
I'm fairly new to C.)
