And as What happens if your program is a filter and the printf() return values are trying to tell you something, such as that the disk is full? We have had people do that to us with overnight program runs. Even if your program is not a filter WRT stdout, you might still redirect output, or even stderr also for an overnight run. A 'little output' could become a lot for some pathological reason. -- George Tomasevich, ihnp4!twitch!grt AT&T Bell Laboratories, Holmdel, NJ
