/* HEXDUMP.C illustrates directory splitting and character stream I/O.
 * Functions illustrated include:
 *      _splitpath      _makepath       _getw           _putw
 *      fgetc           fputc           _fgetchar       _fputchar
 *      getc            putc            getchar         putchar
 *      _fsopen
 *
 * While _fgetchar, getchar, _fputchar, and putchar are not specifically
 * used in the example, they are equivalent to using fgetc or getc with
 * stdin, or to using fputc or putc with stdout. See FUNGET.C for another
 * example of fgetc and getc.
