Well, only in a simplistic sense. The original user wanted character at
at time input from the looks of it. Normally ttys are in "cooked" mode
with typed data being dispatched in chunks on newline. So you get line
at a time, and scanf("%c",...) or whatever does nothing to affect that.
The original respondent was quite right - you _do_ need to muck about
with terminal modes first before expecting char-at-a-time input - the
usual method is either termios functions or via some higher level library
like the curses library (which has handy mode functions - you can skip the
screen update stuff altogether if you just was to turn on cbreak mode).

This is not a bug. It's just the way it works, and makes perfect sense.

I like that line. I hope my boss falls for it.
