It has to be said the host io routines provided with the tds ver D
are VERY confusing and of limited use. The only practical way to
handle io on such systems is to write your own routines which, if
your programming ability is better than that of a complete berk, will
be far better than those supplied by INMOS !!!

For the guy who wants to get newlines try outputting a *n to the 
screen channel, might work but then you never know.

What would have been really good would be C type io commands, this is what
they get translated into on the host anyway. I long for a printf in Occam
that takes all types of variables and lets you format them as you would like.

GUESS THATS TO TOO OLD FASHIONED FOR INMOS - MIGHT HELP SELL THE TDS THOUGH.

Meanwhile we write a paragraph of code each time you want to print a 
handfull of variables !!

Why don't we get the same standard software as the excelent hardware they
provide. Have you ever looked at the source to there library routines ?

Go on have a laugh .....
