Isn't there some sort of idle-loop that is called while Lynx is waiting for
a keypress?
I once committed this change for Watt-32/djgpp in HTdos.c:
----------------------------------
int getxkey (void)
{
__dpmi_regs r;
/* poll tcp/ip lib and yield to DPMI-host while nothing in
* keyboard buffer (head = tail) (simpler than kbhit).
*/
while (_farpeekw(_dos_ds, 0x41a) == _farpeekw(_dos_ds, 0x41c))
{
tcp_tick (NULL);
__dpmi_yield();
}
..
----------------------------------
This no longer (as of 2.8.4dev?) works; tcp_tick() isn't called. Hence
ping's and closing sockets aren't handled.
In LYstring.c there is "#define GetChar getxkey". I tried to follow this
code, but failed to understand how keypresses are read.
Here are some of my CFLAGS:
USE_SLANG, USE_MOUSE, FANCY_CURSES, IGNORE_CTRL_C,
DJGPP_KEYHANDLER.
Did I miss some flags here?
