     I just found out about ctags a while ago.  I got the source, put it on
my Mac, made an MPW Tool out of it, created a tags file from the contents 
of {CIncludes}, trained an editor to use it, and WOW!  Question:  Why isn't
this built into every source code editor which runs on the Mac?

     I would like to be able to use MPW Stdio to access disk files.  I don't
want the console emulator, and I don't think I need the system drivers.  I
just want to be able to "fprintf()" to disk files.  It would be fine with
me if stderr, stdin, and stdout were byte buckets such that reads and
writes produced either nop or error.  Does anyone know how to do this?
This is from a Macintosh application which does its own windowing and
device handling, so the console emulator is redundant, as are the system
drivers (I think).

Sorry, no fancy stuff, since this program limits my .signature to three
