Just found http://www.ia.amu.edu.pl/edm2/0401/socket3.html on the web. The documentation above mentioned select() support in IBM TCP/IP development toolkit for OS/2. So maybe OS/2 support select(). I remember TCP/IP support for OS/2 comes as an optional package of IBM LAN Manager client, back in 94-95. Am I correct, Andrew? Anyway, since you have access to OS/2, can you help us to dig in a bit?
I only have v4 (not v4.5 or eCS), but its still treated there as a "optional" package, certainly from the point of view of maintenance. I don't have VAC++ or a complete set of API docs either, but it wouldn't surprise me that select() is available in the socket library, exclusively for sockets. I use EMX, which has a select() that does what needs to be done to support sockets as well as files and (I think) pipes. I hope to have a look at your bits this weekend. Will let you know what transpires. -- Andrew I MacIntyre "These thoughts are mine alone..."
