Re: all printed lines saved until end-of-program, WHO SAYS back-n should flush immediately???? or are you saying even WITH a fflush(), they still wait till program termination?? Also, CMS is essentially batch-oriented, I can easily see batch programs holding onto output until it knows its done.

Indeed one of the shortcomings of VM/CMS is that there isn't any easy way to run "batch" (as in background) commands... or do multitasking in general.**** The opinions expressed (or implied) are my own, not those of my employer.
