  Have any of you used raw console input with any success?  I
tried opening it, but to no avail:
FILE	*fptr;
if (! (fptr = fopen ("RAW:", "rb")))
	printf ("Ack blft.\n");
  Strangely enough, this works for CON:  Any hints, thoughts or
suggestions are welcome.  Please post replies, mail never seems
to work around here.
Thanks in advance,
Jim Cronin

You are supposed to supply a specification for the window. Like RAW:0/0/640/200/MyWindow ConMan (or whatever you are using) may be supplying some default specification for you when you open plain "CON:". -- ========================================================================== Carolyn Scheppner -- CATS Commodore Amiga Technical Support PHONE 215-431-9180 UUCP ...{uunet,allegra,rutgers}!cbmvax!carolyn Calm down.
