In our Hewlett-Packard 9000, there is no such function (usually written in assembler so far as I know) and the man claims that the printf familiy calls getc. We have some code here which was written including _doprnt, and wonder if there is an equivalent call. The HP runs essentially Sys III, and this posting assumes that the disappearance of _doprnt is common to Unix Support Group versions although I welcome correction. Even more welcome is help in finding a substitute (including the varargs stuff) for _doprnt. David Harrison Dept. of Physics Univ. of Toronto {allegra,ihnp4,linus,decvax}!utzoo!utcs!physics
