============================================================================
Architectures: Classic AMIGAs, FS-UAE and possibly WinUAE, Linux, MacOS.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
MINIMUM Requirements Are:-
--------------------------
Stock A1200, 4MB Fastram and HDD.
FS-UAE 2.8.1, minimum.
Standard OS 3.0.x install or better.
Full ADE UNIX environment install, (full install on AMINET):
https://aminet.net/package/dev/gcc/ADE
Library file ixnet.library version 48.0
Library file ixemul.library version 48.0
Both files are here if you have NOT got them:
https://aminet.net/package/util/libs/ixemul-48.0
(It might even work under WinUAE and CygWin but it is untested
so you use it at your own risk, see 'The Legal Stuff:-' below.)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
History:-
---------
01-01-2023.
-----------
Version 1.00.00. Probably the one and only upload for this archive.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
General:-
---------
Consider this the MNAUAL too!

(Apologies for any typos, etc...)
(This is a WORKING, USEFUL, FUN piece of code, treat it as such.)
As some of you may have discovered I am uploading code snippets that do
things non-standard in various AMIGA modes, this mode being the ADE *NIX
package. This upload is yet another for ADE the *NIX _emulator_.
It is an ASCII only, fully POSIX compliant, pseudo-INKEY$ function that
waits/loops for a quick, single, keypress which in this DEMO is displayed
on screen.
As the ADE ksh[88] shell does NOT have the single keypress extensions for
keyboard input like bash's "read" command for example then this is an
alternative HACK to do a similar task.
There are two methods to exit the Inkey_ADE.sh DEMO code:
1) The uppercase 'Q' to quit the code normally with a return code of 0.
2) The 'Esc' key with a return code of 1.
Just download Inkey_ADE.sh.txt, rename to Inkey_ADE.sh and place inside
your 'ADE' /home/<drawer> of your choice.
Start up ADE and navigate to your <drawer> of choice and run the script
from the prompt as:-
./Inkey_ADE.sh<CR>
Where <CR> is the RETURN/ENTER key and away you go.
(NOTE: chmod 755 Inkey_ADE.sh<CR> should not be required for ADE.)
The only important part is the function itself and how to call it.
Read the code for more information.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
What to expect:-
----------------
INKEY$ for ADE. Read the code for more information!
Just momentarily press an ASCII key only and it will display on screen...
Press Q, (uppercase), to quit, (the RETURN/ENTER key is not needed)...
You pressed:- B

============================================================================
INKEY$ for ADE. Read the code for more information!
Just momentarily press an ASCII key only and it will display on screen...
Press Q, (uppercase), to quit, (the RETURN/ENTER key is not needed)...
You pressed the 'Esc' key, now exiting the program with a return code of 1!
<your_command_prompt> _
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Shells tested on:-
------------------
1) AmigaShell running ADE's ksh/sh.
2) Almost ANY *NIX OS 'sh', 'dash', 'bash', 'ksh' and 'zsh'.
Enjoy...

Testing Evaluation:-
--------------------
All *NIX, FS-UAE and Classic AMIGA test conditions were/are running
standard OS 3.0.x and using standard ~topaz 8~ fonts throughout. The
minimum hardware and software requirements ARE needed however.
I have no idea what strange configuration setups will create so refer
to the ~The Legal Stuff~ above.
