After reading the BSD and SysV manuals, I'm puzzled: does the system give us *any way* to do asynchronous output? I've thought of writing a (presumably buffered) pipe to "cat" and thence to my device. Is there anything else? thanks - [apologies if an incorrect posting on this (I just cancelled it) sneaks through.] garry wiegand (garry%cadif-oak@cu-arpa.cs.cornell.edu)
