Thanks for all the help regarding devices and raw mode.  The two code
fragments worked fine on my Datalight C compiler.  My original problem
was with the Mix C compiler, but it seems that the raw/cooked problem
lies with the *compiler* rather than the printer mode.  If anyone has
any experience with raw/cooked mode and the Mix C compiler, let me know.

Mix C writes to disk files okay in raw or cooked mode, but it seems to
treat the printer as always being in cooked mode, even after using a
dos call to set raw mode (as in the posted examples).  I have simply
resorted to using the Datalight compiler for this particular
application.

Thanks again!
