Is there a way to check user keyboard input in the main program while
action is being done in the server's threads?
The code I first tried did not need to use crt:
repeat
Read(ch);
until (ch='q');
But it acts like Readln(), in that it requires the user to press 'q'
followed by ENTER in order for the loop to break.
Then I used this but it needs the crt unit:
repeat
ch := ReadKey;
until ch='q'; {q}
and now the user just needs to hit q without any follow-up ENTER.
