read from keyboard non blocking

hey there

is there a way to read from keyboard without breaking a program in C.

meaning if I use getchar the prog waits for new input from the keyboard but I want the program to be executed until it gets a stop character. I know I can use multi threading but is there s tutorial on something simpler?

I think he missed two, actually.

ANYway, we ended up doing it by using getchar in one thread and having the engine control function running in a different thread.
