No doubt some people were, but Unix always had tty raw mode that let you read a character at a time. In practice, raw mode wasn't very useful until most people had switched from Teletypes to video terminals. As I recall it was mostly used at the login prompt to try and guess whether you had an upper/lower or upper case only terminal. When I was an undergraduate in the early 1970s we had a PDP-10 with video terminals and a screen editor that interpreted characters one a a time. It worked fine. When we later reimplemented the editor on a PDP-11/45 with early bitmap terminals, I added a half-baked mode to the tty driver which would buffer input characters until you entered one that needed a more complex response than just an echo. I think it used a program settable bitmap. Then someone added insert mode to the editor which meant redrawing the rest of the line on each character to push the rest of the line one to the right. I was worried it would be too slow, but it was fine, too. The bitmap terminals were driven by a terminal emulator on an 11/05 and I think at some point I added insert mode to the emulator. -- Regards, John Levine, johnl@taugh.com, Primary Perpetrator of "The Internet for Dummies", Please consider the environment before reading this e-mail. https://jl.ly
