Hello folks.
Is there anybody out there who have a routine to read on byte
from the keyboard without waiting for 'return', called from
MS-fortran ?

The company I was working for at the time had to purchase a FORTRAN library that could be linked into the software that contained, among other things, the function that you are requesting. The name of the library and the company that produced it are no longer in my memory, but as far as I know, you'll have to go outside of MS to get it. By the way, the FORTRAN function we used was called INKEY()! Again, all my comments are based on MS-FORTRAN 3.1, and may not be relevant to todays implementation. jerry > > > Arve Loktu > Marintek > Trondheim > Norway -- Jerry Heyman IBM T-R: jerry@heyman.austin.ibm.com AWD Tools Development VNET : HEYMAN at AUSVMQ AWD Austin T/L : 793-3962 *** All opinions expressed are exactly that - my opinions and NOT IBM's

Wow, that has to be the most expensive functionality that has been posted in a long time! I sent the original poster a short assembler program that links to both MS and Lahey Fortran to do this. Aside from the cost of buying MS C, remember that you will end up loading in a set of C libraries once you invoke even a small subroutine. -- William Silvert, Habitat Ecology Division, Bedford Inst. of Oceanography P.
