Can something like Script be done in System V?

The general answer is, you can't do that in UNIX System V Release 2.
I suspect it would be easy enough with stream I/O; rumor has it that
stream I/O may be supported in the next release, which may be available
around the end of this year.  But this is just a rumor.

UNIX processes were not supposed to care whether their input was from a
terminal or not..
