Here is a replacement stdio for Minix. The features it offers are: o speed o full support for unbuffered, line buffered and fully buffered modes of operation o support for update modes (r+, w+ and a+) o full varargs support Here are some results when running the t*.c timing programs using the new stdio and the older Minix stdio: real user sys output old tprintf 43.0 41.0 1.9 /dev/null new tprintf 20.0 18.3 2.0 /dev/null old tprintf 1:17.0 40.8 5.3 /dev/tty new tprintf 1:01.0 18.4 20.5 /dev/tty old tfwrite 21.0 19.6 1.3 /dev/null new tfwrite 5.0 2.6 0.8 /dev/null old tfwrite 32.0 19.4 3.5 /dev/tty new tfwrite 15.0 2.7 2.1 /dev/tty old tputc 4.0 3.1 0.1 /dev/null new tputc 2.0 1.0 0.7 /dev/null The following seven (7) postings contain the package. It completely replaces the current Minix stdio. Earl
