//	dynaview.cpp
//
//	This program produces a dynamic view of the volatile text in
//	a Linux pseudo-file whose filename is supplied as a command-
//	line argument (provided this file's contents does not exceed 
//	the bounds of the current terminal window).  It continuously 
//	rereads and redraws this file's text, hiding cursor-movement
//	in order to eliminate the distraction of its screen-flashes,
//	and 'non-canonical' keyboard-input is employed so keypresses 
//	do not get echoed.  The user quits by just hitting <ESCAPE>.
//
//		to compile:  $ g++ dynaview.cpp -o dynaview
