I would not consider this an MPEX bug by any means. I have a command or XEQ file
that runs inside of MPEX. Deep down inside, it invokes the FINFO function.
Whether inside of MPEX or out, FINFO works, on a message file, it seems to work
the same way. My question is how can I have some routine return the same number
for EOF that LISTF returns for a message file. A LISTF seems to return the
number of records remaining to be read. FINFO seems to return the maximum number
of records at some point in the life of the file, perhaps a high-water mark.

I've seen MPEX give some very strange output when accessing message files.  One
of the very few "bugs" I've ever found with a Vesoft product!
