Does anyone have some good 'C' routines that control input. I have a SCO XENIX 2.3.2 with MS C 5.1. I use a compaq 386/20 and wyse 60 terminals. I have written some routines that work but they are clumsy to use. I am looking for a better way or at least fresh ideas. Things that I am looking for are the ability to set a feild width and limit the user to what they can do in that field such as: 1:limit to haw far they can type "if the field is 8 spaces wide they can only enter 8 characters" 2:if the field is 8 spaces they can not type past the end of the field or backspace through the beginning of the field. 3:the routines should be modular enough that they have a reasonable amount of versatility. I do have Terminfo and termcap and curses. Thanks jodsmith@uokmax.ecn.uoknor.edu
