    It's possible, but it's not portable unless you use a library.

    i should have said, "... and portable" , so no, its not possible unless i use conio.h or something like that. I thought there was some 'unbuffer' parameter for iostream of stdio

    conio.h is not portable, but yeah...... I think ncurses supports this.
