Phil,
     Your function can easily be modified so as not to hang in the read:

 inkey()
 {
      char c;

      if(getstat(1,0)==0)
      {
           read(0,&c,1);
           return c;
      }
      else
           return -1;
 }

Here a returned value of -1 indicates that no key has been pressed.
