	Hi.  I am trying to make a C program write to stdout in binary mode,
and can't figure out how to do it.  The problem is that I am writing to a
device which expects lines to be terminated by a linefeed, *not* an LF/CR
pair.  I would like to do this to stdout, to be able to pipe it.  I suppose 
I could write to an intermediate file, if I had to, though.  Can anyone
figure out a way?  I tried writing to "con", but that can't be redirected.

	Any help will be appreciated.
