I haven't been able to duplicate the alleged problems with I/O redirection
under Megamax C.  Specifically, the following program seems to work:

main(argc, argv)
int argc;
char *argv[];
{
	char string[64];

	scanf("%s", string);
	printf("%s\n", string);
}

I've tried this as a TTP application from the desktop and from microcsh.  It
seems to work with microcsh pipes as well.

Note that `argc' and `argv' MUST be declared.  If not, the compiler/linker
will use a dummy version of an internal routine called `argcv'.  The dummy
version doesn't do anything.  This is documented on page 1-7 of the Megamax
manual.

If anybody has a short program that demonstrates failure of I/O redirection
I'd be happy to look at it.
