Under LSC 3.0 I used ``getch'' to read a character at a time,
no processing, no echo. I want to do the same thing under 4.0, but
``csetmode(C_RAW, stdin)'' has two drawbacks:
(1) It is a no-wait ``getchar'', which means that I need to busy
wait. Not a serious problem.
(2) There is no cursor visible.
If I use C_CBREAK, I get a cursor, and the system waits for a
character, but I also get echo, which is not what I want.
Is there a way to CBREAK/NO_ECHO? This is closest to the 3.0 version.
Is there a way to turn on the cursor in RAW mode? I can busy wait.
====
Side bar: It would have been helpful if a list of changes had been
included in the documentation. The introduction of <string.h> caused
some trouble, as did the change of malloc from malloc(int) to
malloc(long). Still and all, I am fairly happy.
