     This directory contains a number of simple routines that  provide
an example of how to get UNIX CBREAK or RAW I/O using the VMS terminal
driver without having to have the line set to PASTHRU all of the time.
What  are CBREAK and RAW I/O?  Interpreting from the ULTRIX-32 manuals
I have come up with  the  following  descriptions  of  these  terminal
driver  modes.   In  RAW  mode  I/O all characters are passed directly
through  the  terminal  driver  to   the   reading   process   without
interpretation.   In  CBREAK mode, the terminal driver interprets only
flow control characters;  typically  CTRL/S  and  CTRL/Q.   All  other
characters  are  passed  directly  to to the reading process as in RAW
mode.  See AAAREADME.DOC for more information.
