You can probably unify the behaviors of platforms a, b and c by calling hSetBuffering on stdin to turn off buffering. Reinier

I'm not so sure about this. I had a similar problem (GHC6.6.1 on Windows) where I had an app that wanted character-based console input on Windows. Calling hSetBuffering stdin NoBuffering didn't actually give me no buffering; not only that, but my app seemed to have readline-like input behavior on the console where I could go back to previously typed lines using the arrow keys, and my app wouldn't see anything until I hit Enter. -- ryan
