I'm using pipes to create a routine which will execute and monitor a series of programs that were designed to be interactive. The problem is that when writing to a pipe, rather than a terminal, they buffer their output and cease to be interactive. Is there a way to set the properties of a pipe or program, prior to doing an exec, to turn off buffering? For many of these programs I do not have access to the source. I'm using SunOS on Sun 3's and 4's, but would like a reasonably portable solution. -- Paul Nielsen GE Research nielsen@crd.ge.com
