[ros-kernel] Re: gets and console input

[Phillip S. <ps...@cf...>]

getc() and getchar() both do NOT set the terminal to raw mode, at least not 
on win2k with microsoft's msvcrt.dll.  The non standard function getch() 
however, does, which also means that it returns special codes for non ascii 
keys, such as the arrow keys and function keys.  None of the C standard IO 
functions will do this.
