I don't think it can.

I would like to note, however, that at Ferranti we *are* one of those sites
that runs Exec-1100 on the Unisys 1100 (AKA Exec-8 on the Univac). If anyone
was going to get hot under the collar about a message being inappropriate to
comp.lang.c because it suggested curses to get a single keystroke it should
be us...

(yeh, we even run TCP/IP on the beasts)
