- Not according to DEC Support. After trying this, and having it clearly not
- work, DEC Support confirmed that fflush() only flushes to the RMS buffers -
- NOT to the actual device.

- So how do I make sure that the buffer gets onto disk? (in my case), I asked.
- They told me that there is an "unsupported and undocumented" function that I
- could call. Thanks, but no thanks, I said.
