I have a file named kbhit.c that contains getch as well as others, but it does not contain getche. youll have to make due. copy it into a text editor and save it as kbhit.c in the /usr/include directory. when you call it from a program, use the command #include <kbhit.c>. you might look at the code too to see what else is in there. http://www.icelizards.com/kbhit.c
