Hi, all.

Is there some means of causing a console app to block ( with respect to Windows
)
and flush the output? 

I have a program suite which uses a Tcl GUI ( since it's pretty easy ) as a
"client", and a 'C'-written  "server" which spits out text via stdout using
printf/puts/the usual suspects.

DOS , of course, uses temp files for pipes. I was sorta hoping there
was some way to cause stdin/stdout to act more like Uniz pipes/sockets.

I can use sockets. I figure that's the answer. If so, does the person running
the 
app have to have Winsock, or TCP/IP on the machine to run this program, or will 
the Tcl  and DJGPP socket layers "find" each other? I know the answer in 
Solaris/SunOS4/Linux/ contexts...
