I'm not sure if mixing lexlib (which is AFAIK written using procedural TP
style code) with streams is a good idea. Depending on your platform, you
could probably simply assign the text file name of 'NUL' or '/dev/nul'.
Admittedly, I don't know whether this kind of device exists for all
platforms (e.g. Symbian ;-) ).
