Hi!

I don't think this is a problem for DJGPP specifically, but here it
is:

In my program I use the "getchar" and "printf" functions. "getchar"
returns a character from stdin (the keyboard in my case), which is
also echoed to the screen (line buffered). But when I redirect the
output at the command prompt (eg.: "program.exe > file.txt"), "printf"
output is sent to the file, but "getchar" output is still sent to the
screen. Why?

Normally, everything should be sent to the file, like when I redirect
the "debug" program output.
