I am looking for a way to avoid buffered keyboard input, the application
I am developing needs to be able to do the following:
	1) register a key press
	2) tell what key was pressed
	3) register when the key was released
All without buffering.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to do this in C/C++,  or
am I going to have to get into assembly? If I have to get into assembly,
any suggested alogrythms?

Thanks in advance.
