	FILE *fpText;
	int c;
	int closeStatus;

	printf("This program copies your input to a file.\n");
	printf("When you are through,enter <EOF>.\n\n");

	if(!(fpText=fopen("P7-07.DAT","w")))
	{
		printf("Error opening FILE1.DAT for writing");
		return (1);

	}
	while ((c=getchar())  !=EOF)
		fputc(c,fpText);

	closeStatus=fclose(fpText);
	if(closeStatus==EOF)

If is a predefined character that represents the end of the file. So the while conditional test will check if getchar is passing a character value to c that does not hold the value of EOF which means, the end of the file.
