C Set/2 Problem with getch()

I'm trying to use getch() in C Set/2 to read from the keyboard with no
echo. Link386 reports getch() not found. I tried to install the
migration libraries using the os/2 install command, but I get an error
message that install cannot write to a write-protected a disk.

Is there a way to read without echo from the keyboard in full-screen
mode in 32-bit code? Thanks.

Given Civil Seizure, from the DEA's point of view, winning the War on
Drugs would be killing the Goose that lays golden eggs.

The Drug War is a government-sponsored, taxpayer-financed,
full-employment program for psycho/socio-paths, wannabees and
gonnabees.
