Goodness, I didn't even think of puts! Let's see... AT&T man page
says puts returns EOF on error, doesn't say what it returns on
success. Linux man page says non-negative number on sucess, EOF on
error. Microware C manual doesn't say anything about puts()'s return
values. I'm too sleepy to fire up OS-9 right now, I'd probably fry
something (damn touchy MPI!), so I can't actually try it.

Sorry to confuse you? I was annoyed and sleepy when I posted last
night.
