- Keep using KbdCharIn. It's still there, but it's not in the toolkit. I believe
- the header files still have the definition for it (but look for Kbd16CharIn),
- and you'll need os2286.lib on your link step.
-
- It's much more fun than dealing with the new 32-bit DosDevIOCTL if you don't
- have the manuals.
