Greetings and salutations to you, my friends of culture,
I am writing a small program in C that needs to be able to poll or query the
keyboard, and all I've found (getkey(), getxkey(), getchar(), etc.) wait for
a keypress when called.  I once had a compiler that had a procedure ci()
that would return the last key in the keyboard buffer, or 0 if one hadn't
been pressed.  I need something like this.  Thx much,
 
Isaac K.
