ncrt & ocrt share the same code base, so the results *should* be exactly the 
same. "Out of the box" readkey returns the same values as the Borland crt 
unit, excepting some combinations like Ctrl/Fx and Atl/Fx..

Is your probelm with the standard Linux console, dumb terminal, emulator?

Normally not required except to trick some pc terminal emulators.

Also make sure you have the latest ncrt from
