appropriate
+AD4- platform.
Please accept my apologies for the two mistakes I did: incorrect
newsgroup and multi post (my newsreader is driven crazy and sent it too
many times...)
Anyway Jacob response was wrong in ANSI context but seems to be correct
on dos/djgpp platform:
Not even correct in /that/ context, because Delorie followed Borland's lead
with getch, and Navia's response was incompatible with Borland C's
behaviour and therefore incompatible with DJGPP's behaviour. You'd be
better off finding out how to use DJGPP's getch in a DOS programmers'
newsgroup.
getkey() resolved the problem.
....but didn't teach you why getch() didn't behave as you expected. You might
want to chase that down, in the interests of understanding what on earth is
going on.
