    putc() and getc() should be macros which "efficiently" queue a char;
fputc() and fgetc() are true functions which behave the same, but call a
function instead of generating in-line code.  Thus, you share the code among
all calls, but you pay the price of a procedure call.  By defining putc/getc
in terms of the functions, they are punting in the name of code space (which
is consistent with MINIX's philosophy--keep it small!).  You just have to
figure out where fputc/fgetc have gone to.  Try libsrc.a.
