[Info-vax] yet another sys$qiow question

[kc at kayceesoftware.com]

I agree Hoff,
and the bosses (today) agree.

The next project requires use of socket ports and changing this recent card reader app to use sockets makes sense for LOTS of reasons.  some of the card reader manufacturers are going to ip ports only, the code will be more portable (major issue now for us), and it is a more direct comm with less middleware...just to name a few.

And I definitely cobbled the code together knowing I was going to redo it via sockets.  As per my original post on this thread I am NOT very literate on qio/w, nor do I want to be.  This is only the 2nd time i've used sys$qio in 29 years.  The other code has been VERY stable for 29 years and it just reads all keyboard input 1 byte at a time
