Does anyone know how to redirect standard output to the printer in
the Digital Research C compiler? The manual included with the ST developer
kit suggests that directing output to /dev/lp or to LST should work,
but in each case these produce a file of the same name.

Does anyone know how to redirect standard output to the printer from
within a C program?

The getchar routine (also gets) do not respond to the RETURN key, they just
wait for you to type another key (They treat CONTROL-RETURN as a return).
Does anyone know of a clean fix for this problem? At present I am using
Cconin and anding the result with 0X7F, but it takes a good bit of
reprogramming to get the effect of gets including the correct action on
CONTROL-h, etc.
