I have an application which entails computing and churning out vast
quantities of data and, for speed, I'd like to have the I/O happening
in parallel with the computing. 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 -
