Bob Stout is a dickhead.  Is he still going "void main" or has
he finally figured out how to write a "hello world" program in
C?  He's the last of the great Borland Fan Bum Chums.

Which presumably means it isn't portable to systems that can't
do more than line-buffering of stdin.  E.g. a 3270 terminal
won't send a message to the host until you press enter (or a
function key or a couple of other keys).  Pressing the letter
'A' will never send a message to the MVS host.  BFN.  Paul.
