I am trying to write an application that will read a mag tape and then split
the input into 5 different database files.  I'm not a C person so I am 
wondering if there is a good way to accept data from standard input into the 
database.  (We want to avoid putting the data in a file and then reading from 
the file)  We have SQL and 4GL, but I haven't really found a non-interactive 
method of accepting data from stdin.

If anyone can point me in the right direction, I would appreciate it.

Tom
