============================================================================

Architectures: Classic AMIGAs, FS-UAE and possibly WinUAE, Linux, MacOS.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

MINIMUM Requirements Are:-

--------------------------

Stock A1200, 4MB Fastram and HDD.

FS-UAE 2.8.1, minimum.

Standard OS 3.0.x install or better.

Full ADE UNIX environment install, (full install on AMINET):

https://aminet.net/package/dev/gcc/ADE

Library file ixnet.library version 48.0

Library file ixemul.library version 48.0

Both files are here if you have NOT got them:

https://aminet.net/package/util/libs/ixemul-48.0

(It might even work under WinUAE and CygWin but it is untested

so you use it at your own risk, see 'The Legal Stuff:-' below.)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

History:-

---------

01-01-2023.

-----------

Version 1.00.00. Probably the one and only upload for this archive.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

General:-

---------

Consider this the MNAUAL too!

-----------------------------

(Apologies for any typos, etc...)

(This is a WORKING, USEFUL, FUN piece of code, treat it as such.)

As some of you may have discovered I am uploading code snippets that do

things non-standard in various AMIGA modes, this mode being the ADE *NIX

package. This upload is yet another for ADE the *NIX _emulator_.

It is an ASCII only, fully POSIX compliant, pseudo-INKEY$ function that

waits/loops for a quick, single, keypress which in this DEMO is displayed

on screen.

As the ADE ksh[88] shell does NOT have the single keypress extensions for

keyboard input like bash's "read" command for example then this is an

alternative HACK to do a similar task.

There are two methods to exit the Inkey_ADE.sh DEMO code:

1) The uppercase 'Q' to quit the code normally with a return code of 0.

2) The 'Esc' key with a return code of 1.

Just download Inkey_ADE.sh.txt, rename to Inkey_ADE.sh and place inside

your 'ADE' /home/<drawer> of your choice.

Start up ADE and navigate to your <drawer> of choice and run the script

from the prompt as:-

./Inkey_ADE.sh<CR>

Where <CR> is the RETURN/ENTER key and away you go.

(NOTE: chmod 755 Inkey_ADE.sh<CR> should not be required for ADE.)

The only important part is the function itself and how to call it.

Read the code for more information.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

What to expect:-

----------------

INKEY$ for ADE. Read the code for more information!

Just momentarily press an ASCII key only and it will display on screen...

Press Q, (uppercase), to quit, (the RETURN/ENTER key is not needed)...

You pressed:- B

============================================================================

INKEY$ for ADE. Read the code for more information!

Just momentarily press an ASCII key only and it will display on screen...

Press Q, (uppercase), to quit, (the RETURN/ENTER key is not needed)...

You pressed the 'Esc' key, now exiting the program with a return code of 1!

<your_command_prompt> _

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Shells tested on:-

------------------

1) AmigaShell running ADE's ksh/sh.

2) Almost ANY *NIX OS 'sh', 'dash', 'bash', 'ksh' and 'zsh'.

Enjoy...

Testing Evaluation:-

--------------------

All *NIX, FS-UAE and Classic AMIGA test conditions were/are running

standard OS 3.0.x and using standard ~topaz 8~ fonts throughout. The

minimum hardware and software requirements ARE needed however.

I have no idea what strange configuration setups will create so refer

to the ~The Legal Stuff~ above.
