The following code I cooked up (pun intended) to emulate the curses functions for putting the console into raw() or cooked() (they call it noraw()) modes. Note that it depends on knowing how the structure FILE * stores the internal amiga file handle. So this version will only work with the Lattice C compiler If someone would port it to Aztec C and post it that would be appreciated. Anyway, it's short so I'll include it here. It's a shar file so cut off the message and feed it to the unix shell, or the Amiga shar program (shar -u) available on one of the Fish disks. Don't forget to remove the signature at the end of the message. --Chuck
