I need to know if stdout is the console, i.e., if it has not been
redirected to a file through

   MY_PROGRAM  > FILE

In TC, I do it by checking the field "flag" of the FILE structute associated
with stdout: if stdout is the console, this flag indicates _F_TERM.
In DJGPP the FILE structure semms to be different and I cannot find this
flag. In fact, if you know some other portable way to know if stdout is the
console or a file it will also be useful to me.

Thanks in advance!
