You don’t need stdio.h to use puts.

I was in the process of making something similar before I found what I wanted – rlwrap. It provides readline line editing capabilities to command line applications that don’t support them, such as netcat.

Or, more importantly, sqlplus (for those of us that need to work with Oracle).
