I have the following problem: I'm trying to write a C-program, using
Microsoft-C 5.1, that reads a character string from the keyboard and
assigns it to an character array. Since this string is supposed to be
a password, I do not want it echoed to the display.
Does anybody have any advice on how to write this bit of code? I am
accustomed to a Un*x environment, and have not too much experience
coding in C for MS-DOS, so please keep it simple.
Any responses, by e-mail, would be greatly appreciated.
