i posted a problem i find with ~/.profile aliaseson "questions", then "hackers" and never received any responses. \ i have double & triple verified this problem and wonder if i am posting in the wrong maillist or if i am in serious error in some way ... ? \ also, to answer a question of my own - to anyone interesting in programming - it appears most output/format control is in "ncurses.h", \ however - i am still at a loss to find a C function that will tell me if a key has been pressed, w/o actually waiting for a char. something like DOSs "kbhit()". \ i also cannot find any info on "random()" seeds. "jot(1)" uses "random()" and generates completely fresh/different random outputs, as well as DOS random functions i've used, but no matter how i seed "srandom()" - "random()" always outputs the same output with the same seed. in my past experience, there is usally a seed that will always put out a varied sequence (0 or 1 or something ...) --------------------------------------------------------- Get Your *Web-Based* Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ---------------------------------------------------------
