- Speaking of which, for us lowly gnu (golly its not kansas) gcc
- folks, is there ANY workaround in character mode to read single
- characters from the keyboard ala getch() ? Do more recently updated
- libs support this function? Can one call a supplied vio or pm
- functions from a window compatible program ?
-

- that does (any suggestions ?)
