Can someone please tell me how to get a standard tty-based program to not buffer the input? Specifically on an '040, 2.1 NeXT. (i.e., if I am looking for at most 10 characters, I don't want anything typed past that to stay around for the next input sequence; I already wrote my own routine (need to do some other stuff too), but the buffering is still killing me) Forgive such a basic question; I think it has something to do with an ioctl but my brain is fried and I need to find out how to do this Real Soon Now, but have lots of more important things to do in the meantime. Please Email.
