[Scummvm-devel] Major "bug" / misfeature in the Stream system

[Lars Persson]

Hi!
I already encountered this problem, when my Symbian filehandling was signaling EOF on the last byte read, which stopped lots of games working. So I adopted my implementation to follow the stdio feof behaviour and then it worked much better. 
 
So I agree that the stdio way is the way to go, since thats the implementation most systems will use anyway.
