Hi!
I'm running Cygwin in a Win98 window.
In a "plain vanilla" C-program I want to poll the keyboard an when a key
is pressed I want to read it without having the character echoed to the
Cigwin-window.
I have managed to arrange th polling using select, but I haven't been
able to read the character.
I've tried getc(), gerchar(), fread() and read() but all these functions
echo the character and will block until the CR is pressed after the key.
This CR is the main problem since it scrolls the content of the window.
Any hints?
