    If the return value of fread is less than the total number that you asked for, then you're looking at an EOF being entered.

    Well, it's a safe bet, that if fread returns EOF, then you've got less than 128 chars in there . . .

    Correct, unless the original int value was less than 256, in which case the data will be unchanged.

    EDIT: assuming you mean "cast it back to an int", not a uchar.

    You may be wanting fgets instead?
