         ^----  you mean "raw" (no dash), didn't you?

    The above example will probably not work if you're running under System V
or V7 UNIX or derivatives of same, due to a difference of convention for the
 stty(1)  command.  On such systems,  stty  uses __standard input__ to access
the tty, and sends output (if any) to standard output; contrast this with BSD
 stty(1bsd) , which accesses the tty via standard output and sends its output
to standard error.

    Thus, to achieve the intended effect under System V and friends, you
would want to do something like this:

		(stty raw; cat foo.ps; stty -raw) </dev/ttyxx >/dev/ttyxx

I don't know if the last command is required, but it is polite.
