select() on stdin and socket

[Brian Fudge]

I am trying to use select() with stdin and a socket.  I can use fileno() to
get the file number for stdin and feed it to select.  Everything works fine,
but select() doesn't see input on stdin until I hit return.  I guess it is
being buffered line-by-line.  I tried using setvbuf() to change stdin to
character-at-a-time mode, but it didn't seem to work.  I've also tried various
combinations of "stty -icanon" and "stty -raw", but they don't process line
erase and backspace.  Is there any way to get select() to see input on stdin
before I hit return (so I can use fgets to get it)?

Thanks,
Brian Fudge
