He is using Fortran. He has a device on the same line as his terminal. He would like to be able to tell the vax "here comes some raw data, do no processing on it", then flip a switch and have the device dump into the vax. The idea is to get VMS to ignore control characters, etc. If he had a function a la getch(c) which would return the raw characters to his fortran program, he would be satisfied. I am posting this to unix-wizards in the hope that some of you who have vaxen running both os's (to be pitied, but that is not the point) are also VMS wizards. I am also posting to lang.f77 since he's working in fortran. Essentially, he needs the equivalent of "stty raw" under VMS. Please reply to me, and I will send him any responses. ALL help is appreciated. Of course, he should be running Unix, but their vax doesn't have enough memory either (only .5 meg). It seems that their management is penny wise and pound foolish......
