It is supposed to loop "forever". I used to use this: #define INPUTSIZE 8192 char input[INPUTSIZE]; while (fgets(input, sizeof(input), stdin)) { if ((cp=strchr(input, '\n')) == NULL) { fprintf(stderr, "filter: input too big: %s\n", input); } else { *cp = '\0'; } ... fflush(stderr); fflush(stdout); } JD
