A creature called Peter Fitzsimmons screamed at Mike Stella:

   Okay, it still gives me a trap.  Here's the code:

compile_options = /hw /d2 /zq /otexan /4r /fp3 /fpi87 /bm

#define INLC_NOPM
#define INCL_KBD
#define INCL_VIO
#define INCL_DOS
#define INCL_DOSQUEUES
#define INCL_DOSPROCESS

#include 
#include 
#include 
#include 
#include "inp.h"
#include "gfx.h"

HFILE ReadKbd;
HFILE WriteKbd;

void KbdStart()
{
   if (DosCreatePipe(&ReadKbd,&WriteKbd,4096))
   {
      VioWrtTTY("\nError - Could not create recieve pipe in
KbdStart()\n",53,0);
      DosExit(1,1);
   }
printf("\nbegin");
fflush(stdout);
   _beginthread(KbdHandler,NULL,0x200,1);  // Here's where it traps
printf("donebegin");
fflush(stdout);
}

void KbdHandler(void *t)
// The Keyboard handler thread
{
   KBDKEYINFO ki;
   char   buf[1];
   ULONG   num;
   
   for(;;)
   {
//VioWrtTTY("kbdhandler",10,0);
printf("kbdhandler");
fflush(stdout);
      KbdCharIn (&ki,1,0);
      if (ki.chScan != 0)
      {
         if (ki.chChar == 0)
         {
            switch (ki.chScan)
            {
                  break;
            }
         }
         else   
         {
            buf[0]=ki.chChar;
            if (DosWrite(WriteKbd,buf,1,&num))
            {
               DosExit(1,1);
            }
         }
      }
      else
         DosSleep(250);         // make the thread sleep for 250ms
   }      
}            

   Some stuff has been removed, stuff that won't make a difference, because
it never gets to the thread anyways.
   Thanks for the help...
