   Oops.  I was looking at the wrong half of a "#ifndef".
That was the Windows DLL half.  In the rest of the world,
it's:
              putc(' ', stdout);
              fflush(stdout);
and the fflush() makes a difference, record-wise.

   You may be overstating that case.

      HELP CRTL fflush
[...]
         If the file pointed to by file_ptr was opened in record mode
         and if there is unwritten data in the buffer, then fflush
always
         generates a record.

_Someone_ seems to know what a record is.
