As stdio on Unix generally does no such translation, how about
putchar(3).  If you want to get the functionality of LF alone, you
should look at the curses(3) library or the tty(4) device driver.

Btw, comp.std.c is not the correct place for this query.  I've
crossposted and redirected followups to comp.lang.c, which is more
appropriate.  comp.unix.programmer may be the best place to ask about
low-level tty handling under Unix.
