[rest deleted...]
When I needed an isatty (to get a reasonable mail interface from the uupc
stuff) I looked in the manual and there was no isatty mentioned, but libc.a
for MWC v2.0 contained an isatty() function. Um, other undocumented stuff, too.
Seems to work, but only for what I've tried to do with it... -L
