to RAW or not to RAW

For a Xerox 1750 nroff post-processor I wrote, I wanted to send any
character from ^A to ~.  Luckily 4.1BSD has this wonderful bit called
LLITOUT.  In LLITOUT you can send anything, yet the tty driver still
responds to ^S/^Q.  No need to even turn off CRMOD, or any other.

Best of all, it's wonderfully non-portable. :-)
