RCONN@WSMR-SIMTEL20.ARMY.MIL (Rick Conn) (04/08/91)
To add to the current discussion, this package, now in the ASR,
is a superset of the single-character C function recently discussed.
It supports single-char for PCs (Meridian Ada), UNIX (most Adas, altho
I tested it only using Verdix), and VAX (DEC Ada).
