getchar()

[Harry Protoolis - Sun EHQ]

Marc,

Your problem is that your system is line buffering input. (yes, even getchar()
does this).

Assuming that your are on a Unix system you can turn this off using
ioctl to turn off cbreak mode (read tty(4)) to your input device. If
you are running DOS I don't know, but there is certainly an equivalent.
