*** Attention: SUN FORTRAN/C/OS gurus ***
I would be very grateful if anyone could tell me how to read keyboard
characters --- one at a time without echoing those characters to the
terminal --- within a SUN FORTRAN program. One would think that using
the integer function GETC would do the trick but no ...
Specific application:
I have written a CCD stellar photometry package (see Mighell 1989,
Mon. Not. R. astr. Soc. 238:807-833) which currently runs on VAX VMS
systems. Since the big VAX at Mount Stromlo will be removed in November
I am currently trying to port the package over to SUN machines.
My program reads the coordinates from a Tektronix 4010 crosshairs
(GIN mode) without echoing the cryptic Tektronix 4010 codes back
to the graphics terminal. This is easy to do within VAX FORTRAN
but is apparently very difficult within SUN FORTRAN.
Plea for help:
Surely this problem was solved a long time ago in SUNland but the terse
SUN documentation makes a lone scientist long for the rather verbose
VAX user manuals.
Apparently it is possible to overide the standard terminal definitions
of the SUN operating system within a SUN C program but how can this be
done within SUN FORTRAN?
*** ANY help would be greatly appreciated!!! ***
