It was one of the first things I tried doing, and I tried again
most recenly with 1.09. I got stuck because there was no equivalent of
something to put the keyboard input into raw mode, where characters
would be returned to reads immediately (yes, I know about getkey(),
but I was trying to avoid wholesale rewrites of the code, which
simply uses getc() extensively.)
I also had problems forcing standard output to be buffered the
way I wanted it ; I could never be confident that the last
line of output had actually got out, even though I thought I was
making standard output unbuffered. I'm not sure if anyone else has
succeeded with this.
