And as under UNIX calling C-programs from Fortran is easy matter, I will suggest to use C-interface. Basic idea is to change in file <termio.h> (at /usr/include) c_lflag to correct value so that echoing is controlled by the programmer. Also ioctl-command should be used. I will give more detailed answer as get back my book in "Advanced UNIX programming". ---- Sami Saarinen Centre for Scientific Computing (CSC) , Finland Mail: sbs@csc.fi
