No EoD at the end and what's even worse, I recently ran out of Kleenex
to wipe away my tears.

Ok.

Try it with very large files...see above! :-)

I mentioned zos.finish() before I ran to lunch because that's where I
see the EoD actually written out to the stream in cscope.

Unfortunately I don't have a working debugger right now since Java is
normally just coffee to me, hence my cry for help (I may change that
situation in the next few hours).

Thanks for the feedback, it is appreciated.
