Re: I/O buffering.

Hi Lindsay,

I/O buffering can't be turned off, it happens on a lower (stdin) level.


I think what you mean is a low-level (e.g. character-wise) read as opposed to
the higher-level 'read' function.

This could be:

   (while (char)
      (prin
         (case @
            ("-" "_")
            (T @) ) ) )
