+<h1>getchar function </h1>
+<hr>
+</center>
+<p>
+<b>getchar</b> is used to read data from the keyboard (
+<a href=../MISC/stdfiles.html>stdin</a>). Effectivly
+it is a <b>fgetc(stdin)</b>.<p>
+The problem with this function is that the characters are buffered until 
+RETURN is hit! This means that <b>getchar</b> does not see the characters 
+until the user presses return. The non standard function <b>getche</b> 
+gets around this problem and sees each character as it is pressed. 
+I have not been able to produce the same function on Linux. 
+The nearest I can get is by using 'curses' but it keeps clearing the screen!

+Library:   stdio.h
