Is there a "nice" method whereby one can get characters from cin in a non-blocking manner? I was looking at stream.h and was thinking along the lines of extracting the FILE* out of the i/ostream, and then getting a file descriptor out of that and setting it to be FNDELAY, but this seems too obtuse. Surely there must be a better way of doing this? <insert obligatory inquiries about PD C++ compilers for XXX here> Reid
