Pipes like tty's ?

I have a program which insists on having a tty as its standard input.
It is a commercial, binary-only program, so I can't tell you why, but presumably
it is doing stty's or something. I want to drive it from a prepared script.
Any ideas ?
Seems to me one could write a program which builds a pseudo-tty between
itself and the binary program in the manner of a pipe and feed it from a file
or whatever. However this is probably a bit of work. Anyone written such a
thing ? Any other ideas ?
Using 4.2BSD script does not work, but perhaps it could be hacked to
work...
