I am new to C programing and just received my SAS/C 5.1.
Acording to the book I am using as a reference for C, the getchar() command
should wait for a character input, but when I use it, the program just skips
happily on by the command like it never existed.  Should I be using a loop
similar to what would be done with get a$ in basic?

BTW, my code looked something like this:
include# <stdio.h> (or whatever the standard one is>

main
{
  char showall;

  printf ("Show all output (y/n)? \n");
  showall=getchar();

  blah... blah.. blah..

}

Also, anysuggestions for using SAS/C on a 2 floppy, 1 meg, no HD system?
Thanks for all help!
