Maybe I wasn't clear; I need to write an *interactive* version of scanf().
I.e. with my own getchar() replacement with echo. This is for a little
conio library (Borland style if anybody remembers that). So feeding a 
buffer to fscanf/sscanf cannot be interactive AFAICS. Code like
  rc = my_scanf ("%d",val);
should terminate on 1st non-digit returned from my input function.

Thanks you and Greg anyway. Looks like I have to borrow the whole
_doscan() from either djgpp, newlib or S-Lang.
