The function "errfmt" works like UNIX "printf", but always prints to standard error. Once exposed to this facility, I found I couldn't live without it. A little research into the internals of stdio allowed me to create the necessary analogs on UNIX with ease. I would be glad to send them to anyone interested. - Alan S. Watt (decvax!ittvax!swatt)
