I have been trying to find the method / access to the "C " language equivalant
of "stdin" and "stdout". I need this because of "tool interoperability".
Several of the tools can access and provide data to other tools directly by
writing to and reading from stdout and stdin. The user just supplies these as
the units and the tool takes it from there without the user worrying what unit
is tied to where. ( as in - read(thisVar, stdin) ).

Any thoughts in this direction that you might have would be appreciated. I have
looked at the method printOn: and it is less than obvious to me how to specify
whatever unit constitutes the "stdout" target, or how to access the stuff
comming in via the "stdin" port. I am using VisualWorks 2.0 from ParcPlace as
well as their earlier Smalltalk product.

Thanks,

Mike G.
