    They say that if you play a Windows Install CD backwords, you hear satanic messages. That's nothing; play it forward and it installs Windows.

    for buffered input there is scanf() or fgets(). For unbuffered input there is getch() but it is non-standard although most compilers seem to support it. On msvc its called _getch(). Look those funcs up in your help files.Also do a board search as this sort of thing gets covered regularly. Take a moment of your time to peruse the FAQ as well.
    Free the weed!! Class B to class C is not good enough!!
    And the FAQ is here :- http://faq.cprogramming.com/cgi-bin/smartfaq.cgi

    No. If you have it, try kbhit(). What compiler/OS. No, wait, don't tell me, have you done a board search yet, as suggested?
    When all else fails, read the instructions.
    If you're posting code, use code tags: [code] /* insert code here */ [/code]
