Hi, the program, Don Knuth's TeX adapted to GPC version 2.1, does heavy I/O on text files. I noticed a very high percentage of system time. I believe this is due to lazy I/O, which seems to be unbuffered. GPC should apply lazy/IO when the text file comes from the keyboard, but to use buffered I/O when it comes from the disk. Is there a way to turn off lazy/IO on nonterminal text files? Greetings, Wolfgang Helbig
