Here is a replacement stdio for Minix. The features it offers are:

o speed
o full support for unbuffered, line buffered and fully buffered
  modes of operation
o support for update modes (r+, w+ and a+)
o full varargs support

Here are some results when running the t*.c timing programs using the new
stdio and the older Minix stdio:

		real		user		sys	output
old tprintf	43.0		41.0		1.9	/dev/null
new tprintf	20.0		18.3		2.0	/dev/null
old tprintf	1:17.0		40.8		5.3	/dev/tty
new tprintf	1:01.0		18.4		20.5	/dev/tty

old tfwrite	21.0		19.6		1.3	/dev/null
new tfwrite	5.0		2.6		0.8	/dev/null
old tfwrite	32.0		19.4		3.5	/dev/tty
new tfwrite	15.0		2.7		2.1	/dev/tty

old tputc	4.0		3.1		0.1	/dev/null
new tputc	2.0		1.0		0.7	/dev/null

The following seven (7) postings contain the package. It completely replaces
the current Minix stdio.
