Check out circuits [1]. It has a Component
called Stdin [2] which allows you to have
non-blocking Standard Input that I use
for getting input from the user. (works
only on Linux though). You may be able
to adapt this to suite your needs.

My telnet [3] example shows how this
Stdin component is used.

Hi all, I'm trying to read from the txt file 'ip.packets.2.txt' using the read function. It seems everything ok, but I get a -1 when executing >>bytesr = read(fdo1, bufread, 2); The 'open' function returns the file dsc 3. So this seems ok.. Any idea what might be wrong?

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
