/*--- setraw.msc -------------------------------------------------
Routines to set and reset raw mode on stdin/stdout.
For Microsoft C.
------------------------------------------------------------------*/
#include <stdio.h>
#include <dos.h>
/* Use the IOCTL DOS function call to change stdin and stdout to raw mode.
* For stdin, this prevents MSDOS from trapping ^P, ^S, ^C, thus freeing us
* of ^P toggling 'echo to printer'.
* For stdout, this radically speeds up the output because there is no
* checking for these special characters in the input buffer whenever
* screen output is occurring.
* Note that only the stdin OR stdout ioctl need be changed since
* apparently they are handled as the same device.
* Thanks to Mark Zbikowski (markz@microsoft.UUCP) for helping me with
* this.
* --- This stolen from sources to the mighty game HACK ---
