   Grep2Msg - Message filter from Turbo Grep to Turbo C++ IDE message window

   This filter accepts input through the standard input stream, converts
   it and outputs it to the standard output stream.  The streams are linked
   through pipes, such that the input stream is the output from GREP, and
   the output stream is connected to the message window of the Turbo C++ IDE.
   This filter is invoked through the Turbo C++ IDE transfer mechanism as

            grep <commands> | grep2msg | TC IDE

    Compile using Turbo C++ in the LARGE memory model

    tcc -ml grep2msg

Function  : NextChar
Parameters: None

which is allocated in function main.  NextChar function will return
the next character in the buffer, reading from the input stream when the
buffer becomes empty.

Function  : flushOut
Parameters: Size   The number of characters to be written out
Returns   : nothing

Strings to be sent to the message window are placed in a buffer called
OutBuffer.  A call to this function will write Size bytes to the
standard output stream and reset the output buffer pointer to the
beginning of the buffer.  Any additional information in the buffer is
thus lost.

/**************************************************************************
Function  : Put
Parameters: S     pointer to a string of characters
            Len   length of the string of characters
Returns   : Nothing.

Put places bytes into OutBuffer so they may be later flushed out into the
standard output stream using flushOut.
