But to answer the original question: For many cases: /* cheaper than buying zortech :-) */ #include <stdio.h> int kbhit() { return rdchk(fileno(stdin)) != 0; } will do, but only under Xenix and Unix SYSVR3.2 and higher, linking with the -lx library, but this answer is good enough for the poster of the original question. Of course, you have to setbuf(stdin, (char *)0); at the beginning of the program to make this work. -- Ronald Khoo <ronald@robobar.co.uk> +44 81 991 1142 (O) +44 71 229 7741 (H)
