I tried using cbreak mode for the first time today,
and just like all other things, I failed miserably on my
first attempt. Since I was already using curses in my program,
I first used the curses functions cbreak() and nocbreak().
After debugging, I found that the program
#include <stdio.h>
#include <curses.h>
main()
{
cbreak();
nocbreak();
}
would leave the machine in cbreak mode. Furthermore, I
wrote my own routines to set and unset cbreak mode using
ioctl() and had the same result. Am I just being a twit,
or and I lodged firmly in the Twilight Zone(TM)? By the
way, our system runs 4.3bsd.
Thanx
