If you are reading this, and have SAS C V6.3, I would like you to try something. Create a simple program as follows: #include <stdio.h> int main( int argc, char **argv ) { printf("Key = %d\n", getch() ); } Then compile and link using the default options! (be sure NOT to use NOSTDIO)! This simple program fails two ways… First, if you run it from the WB, and press a key, it won't allow you to close the window it opens. Second, if you run it from a CLI, and hit a cursor or function key, it exits fine but will corrupt something that causes it to fail the second time (it seems to stuff things into the stdin stream). For instance: RAM:> test<CR> <Then press F1> Key = 155 RAM:> test<CR> 0~test: Unknown command I'm using a Amiga 4000/030 with 6 megs of ram, and nothing unusual in my startup! Just want to know if this is a compiler bug, or my system. -Troy
