  Very likle y the C function      int *kbhit*() may help you.

  Microsoft VC++ docs says:

" . . . Checks the console for keyboard input.

       int *kbhit*( void );




This would be exactly what I want/need, but unfortunately kbhit() (and 
its header file conio.h)
are apparently not included in the ANSI standard, so g++ (v.3.2.2) 
doesn't know it exists.
Surely there must be an ANSI-compliant equivalent ?

Cheers
John
