Hi,
I am writing a password-getting routine, and I am trying to use getch (so that
the characters entered do not echo back). My problem is that even with
#include <dos/conio.h> in the source, I get an unresolved externals linker
error on getch. Now, I am postitive that getch is in conio.h, because I have
used grep to look for it, and it's in there. In Turbo C 2.0, there is a
routine called getpass, and I was wondering if there was anything similar to
this in the Unix/Xenix environment.
Thanks in advance,
Dave
P.S. I am under SCO Xenix.
