[mod.computers.vax] C prgram needed - read with timeout

02335@UWAV4.BITNET (08/17/86)

Hi,

I have been trying to write a C routine to poll the keyboard.  The function
needs to return a 0 if no key was pressed and the ASCII value of the
character pressed if one was.

One important bit of information is that this routine is needed for an
HP-9000 machine.

Any information would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
