Re: Help!!! I don't want to echo user password in Oracle 7 on Vax in Pro* C

In windows, you can include the <conio.h> and use the getch() function and it will not echo the input to the screen. I think there is another file you can include to do the same for other systems, maybe curses.h. I will look into it. Keep me posted if you figure this out. I would like to know myself.
