How can single characters be read from standard input without having to wait for a newline? I'm trying to write an improved editor, and I can't even start without this information.

You deserve flaming for this! There are as many answers as there are "C" libraries, how is anyone to tell which answer you want? I'll mail you a solution if you let me know which of Unix or MSDOS you want the answer for (I can't vouch for other operating systems) as I am too lazy to cater for both worlds (and I also don't really like too many #ifdef's). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- I used to design nuclear reactors and you should see the code that engineers and scientists come up with.

Re: unbuffered stdin() in C Well, it depends. What C compiler and machine are you using? Could be easy, could be a pain. Feel free to e-mail rather than post (if you like). /* Tim Cantin (Tim@ENH.Prime.COM) Prime Computer, Inc. -- Framingham, MA */ #include "stddisclaimer.h"
