The MWC library does have the "isatty()" function...  I just checked.
I believe it has had that function since version 1.0, but I can't be
sure.  It may not be documented, but it is there.  You may find doing
an "nm -g libc.a" some time -- You'd be suprised to see how many functions
are there.

If you want a full list of the functions available in the MWC library posted,
I'd be happy to do so, but as I work for MWC, some may find the posting to
be a commercial use of the net, and I might get zapped for it.
