R help - Aug 2003 - detecting EOF on connection?

Hello,

        Is there an easy way of determining whether one has reached
        the end-of-file when reading a connection?  I am reading a
        binary file and I would like to know when the read fails.

        Thanks,
                Andy

When the readBin gives a 0-length result.  See the help file.
