Standard C has no mechanism to do this. You'll have to look into the
terminal handling capabilities provided by your system. If you are
using Windows try <comp.os.ms-windows.programmer.win32> and if you are
using a UNIX/Linux try <comp.unix.programmer>. Other possible groups
are the microsoft.public.* hierarchy and
<comp.os.linux.development.apps>

Can't be done in standard C, but some systems have a function
getpass(). See www.c-faq.com, question 19.1.
