Re: [PLUG] gcc screen unbuffered input

[Kyle Burton <mortis@voicenet.com>]

I just saw that the manpage for ncurses says to do three things:

initscr(); cbreak(); noecho();

That's what it says most programs will probably want if they're doing full 
screen, because they usualy don't want to have input echoed back to the 
console...


Heh, I learn something new every day.  I guess I can go home and sleep till
tomorrow now that today's lesson is out of the way.
