Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately, I don't understand why it  
doesn't work. For example, dumpOSC prints its optional greeting  
message simply with printf(), ie. to stdout. For printing OSC  
messages, the function Smessage calls fflush(stdout) after printf()  
to cause buffered output to be written (as fflush() is not called  
after the greeting, in a pipe this has the effect that the greeting  
is only printed after the first messaged arrived).

I can't see why dumpOSC seemingly refuses to show its output in a non- 
interactive terminal -- in contrast to virtually all UNIX commands. I  
should mention that I don't have much C programming experience..
