This should better be written like this:

     if ((fscanf (infile, "%d", &token) < 1 ) && feof(infile))

(Just in case DJGPP will some time learn to return EOF, as it
should...)

Not only from UNIX, but from everything I ever found on the matter
(including K&R2, and P.J. Plauger's book about the ANSI standard library).
This is a (known) bug in DJGPP, and a fix is available (from me, if
you must, or) from DJ's bug tracking system on his WWW server.
