      NAME
           getc, fgetc - get a character from a logical unit

      SYNTAX
           integer function getc (char)
           character char

           integer function fgetc (lunit, char)
           character char

      DESCRIPTION
           These routines return the next character from a file
           associated with a fortran logical unit, bypassing normal
           fortran I/O.  Getc reads from logical unit 5, normally
           connected to the control terminal input.

           The value of each function is a system status code. Zero
           indicates no error occured on the read; -1 indicates end of
           file was detected.  A positive value will be either a UNIX
           system error code or an f77 I/O error code. See perror(3F).

      FILES
           /usr/lib/libU77.a
