Claus,

>> I am looking for an Ada package that includes the following

>> I use an ATT 3B2 with the Verdix 5.7C Ada compiler under Unix.

>> Any hints will be appreciated.

      Regarding message 2, I believe i've done this with CURSES routines.
   These routines are included with the Verdix Ada Development System (VADS).
   There is a routine call getch in the curses_s.a located in the publiclib 
   subdirectory.
