It seems that whatever file or device is opened, XLF buffers the i/o. The only (relatively) unbuffered i/o I can find is via the preconnected standard i/o units: 0, 5, and 6. However, these are formatted units, and line-buffered. By the way, it seems that the X11R4 Xterm Tek4015 doesn't support a GIN termination character. Is this correct? rab --- Richard Brown | E-mail: rab@tauon.ph.unimelb.edu.au School of Physics | Phone : +61 3 344 5081 University of Melbourne | Fax : +61 3 347 4783 Parkville Victoria AUSTRALIA 3052 | Telex : AA35185 Brought to you by Super Global Mega Corp .com
