Huh?  On input Vax-11 C converts records with any attribute (implied
carriage control, print carriage control, FORTRAN carriage control, null,
and VFC) to stream format (read your "Programming in VAX-11 C" book
AA-L370A-TE) so everything always looks like stream files on input.  On
output, Vax-11 C creates stream files unless you go through the immense
amount of effort to specify otherwise.
