Every time I mention my networking package, I get attacked with requests for it. I posted it less then a month ago. Still, I will post it again with some bug fixes very soon via comp.sources.unix. To answer the question... You have two choices here in how you wish to go. You can set up a signal to be sent when the keyboard is used or you can use the select() command and watch them both at the same time. The networking library has some good examples of this stuff.. :-) -- Josh Siegel (siegel@hc.dspo.gov) It's a 9mm hand gun... useful for killing people... If you're into that sorta thing...
