Unless you're trying to port existing code to the C64, stdio isn't
really useful. Trying to get a 1 MHz C64 with a 400 cps disk drive to
conform to the stdio API is just inefficient. The kernal call wrappers
in cbm.h allow you to use the native API for disk I/O, and there's
conio for user I/O. If you want to stay compatible with other plat-
forms simply #ifdef your way around the problem and user wrapper
functions.

I think one or two people on this list have been hacking away a bit on
this, sooner or later something might turn up. Until then, use the
kernal call wrappers and treat the C64 as a C64 :)
