Under Zortech C (both the MSDOS and SCO UNIX version) this can be written
as:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <conio.h>

void do_calculations(void)
{
	printf("Hello world... 2 + 2 = %d\n", 2 + 2);
}

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
	int inchar;

	do
        {
	    do_calculations();
        } while(!kbhit());

	inchar = getch();
	printf("The key you pressed is '%c' (0x%x)\n", inchar, inchar);

	return 0;
}
