Trying to read user input async [like a text editor] via Unix(tm)
SystemV 'NO DELAY' but it's a real cpu hog! Emacs reads keys async-
but it's very good with the cpu- How Does it do it? Currently I'm
polling for input.
Also am trying to update the time once a second [just so I know that
the program is still alive- the info displayed rarely changes ]- Is
their an efficient way to do this? Currently, again, I'm just polling
'till one sec has elapsed: I can't sleep(1) because I'm also waiting for
async input.
Please respond via Email, don't often get to read NetNews.
Thanks,
