Just a note from Waterloo here, that is *ONE* of the Waterloo compilers.
 
Re: all printed lines saved until end-of-program, WHO SAYS back-n should
   flush immediately????
   or are you saying even WITH a fflush(), they still wait till program
   termination??
   Also, CMS is essentially batch-oriented, I can easily see batch programs
   holding onto output until it knows its done.
