AAIO Advanced I/O
-----------------

Many people moving from Windows programming to UNIX program have problems 
with the missing non-blocking getch() and getche() functions provided by 
conio.h. This library provides the functionality of getch(), getche() and
kbhit(). It does not require an initialization (like curses) and does 
not abuse the terminal (i.e. whenever the mode of the terminal is 
changed its state is stored so it can be restored). For increased 
efficiency there exists funcionality to allow abuse of the terminal as well 
as functions to restore or reset the terminal when the application exits.
