Captains Log, Stardate 1 Apr 98 17:00, Admiral Eli Zaretskii:
:The natives are rebelling - saying WE WANT CP/M BACK!
Just kidding - Late April Fools joke!!
What you really said, was:
: > if (isatty(fileno(stdin))
: > setmode(fileno(stdin), O_BINARY);
:
: Should be "!isatty", right?
Oooops - I missed that one! Mind you, I had it right in my program::
#ifdef STDINVER
if(fi->FName==0) { /* If nothing else specified on command line.. */
fi->FPtr=stdin; /* We'll just have to scrap this, I think... *x/
fi->FName="STDIN";
fflush(stdin); /* Just to satisfy the purists... */
setmode(fileno(stdin), O_BINARY);
/* Else if I don't have the above code selected, the below lines apply */
#else
printf("hexdump: No filename specified on commandline\n");
exit(EXIT_FAILURE); /* Ooops - nearly left this enabled ... */
#end
: > while `kbhit' and `getch' talk directly to the BIOS.
:
: That's a common misconception. `getch' calls DOS character input
: function, so it can be redirected (try it). (`kbhit' indeed calls BIOS,
: so it cannot be used with redirected stdin.)
So that's why I did the following (I might have mentioned this already):
while(!(kbhit())) ; /* wait for key ... */
getxkey(); /* swallows key ... */
Well, the news is now, that I have strange problems with my program (and it
doesn't have anything to do with the STDIN) overwriting bits of itself
again... 8-(
Still, I'll let you know what luck I had in sorting it out - I had it once
before, so now I have to figure out what I've done wrong...
Well, cheers for now...
