Again, the system with which I have the problem is THINK's LightspeedC on a Macintosh. No there isn't ioctl(), stty(), fcntl(), terminals, terminal emulation windows, or terminal drivers. Making a window look like a terminal is a function of the C libraries. And, again, the problem is that standards like ANSI appear to leave echoing alone because it is an OS issue. My question is how do we get getchars that behave similarly on different systems when for some implementations it falls under the responsibility of the C libraries because the OS doesn't have terminal support. -- Scott Wilson arpa: swilson@sun.com Sun Microsystems uucp: ...!sun!swilson Mt.
