This is a shriek for help with C.
All I want to do it read in a _single_ character from the
keyboard.  I have tried getchar() getc() etc etc BUT all
of them expect you to press the return key after typing 
the character --- this is unacceptable as I want to use
the keystrokes as commands for a spreadsheet I am writing.


HELP!!!  Something in vanilla C (I have Aztex 3.6a) would be
nice, as this has to run on a BSD Unix system as well.  Failing
that some Amiga-specific thing would be OK (using CON: or something).

Also, is there a yacc port for the Amiga?  Compatibility with the BSD
yacc is important (BSD running on a Pyramid system).  Is there a curses
package for the Amiga? Help^20!!!

Rod..
ps: we are out of stock of virgin, snow-white goats as the response to the
previous post was higher than expected.  Gerbils anyone?
