[comp.sys.atari.st] Old Acylon scanf

achowe@tiger.waterloo.edu (CrackerJack) (04/06/89)

I'm still using Acylon C that I received with my developer's package
from way back. Well I'm currently porting << Gnu Go >> and I get the
whole thing to compile (after some tweeking) and still remain portable.
 
My problem is when I run the thing. Scanf() used to get input but it
never bothers to stop and wait for me to type. It just goes right on
and returns EOF till the program bombs.

Is there something wrong with the scanf() in the old version of Acylon
C? I tried this thing on the UNIX box here at the university and no
problem. Before anyone mentions changing to Sozobon C which I would so
dearly like to do note that I'm still don't own a HD and I'm currently
using 1 floppy and 1M RAM disk to do all this work. It just so much work
to change over the setup disk and learn a new package.

Please reply by e-mail.

PS. I never found this problem before because I normally write Atari
specific ditties that use Gemdos directly for I/O.
