Hi,

I'm trying to continuously output data to a file handle while reading single characters from the user to adjust the speed at which things are output. I'm interested to get this to work in Hugs on Windows. I successfully used the following function ghci under Mac OS:

{{{ getUserInput :: IO (Maybe Char) getUserInput = do hasInput <- hReady stdin if hasInput then liftM Just (hGetChar stdin) else return Nothing }}}

This function returns a character to me if there's one available. If anybody could give me a hint how to get this working in Hugs under Windows, please tell me.

Something in the 'win32' package, or maybe the FFI. MSDN will be very handy.

P.S.: Sorry to post to haskell@..., but nothing else seemed to match.

This is a thread for haskell-cafe@. Stefan
