I just have to ask why you're doing this, just for the heck of it? I mean,
the output device you're writing two can hold a whopping five characters
at a time. I don't really see the benefit of changing to a more
complicated interface. Of course, if you're just having fun or have a good
reason, by all means enjoy and good luck. :)
Fork might be interesting, but it seems like starting another thread would
be simpler and take less memory.
