I am currently a user of msc v4.0. I don't usually do much pc work any
more, now that I'm out of school, so I'm not real psyched about buying msc v5.0
if I don't have to.
Nevertheless, I find that I'm often converting unix code to MS-DOS and
there's something important missing.
The current problems are the alarm() and signal() functions. I'll write
an alarm and a signal that can handle it if I have to, but I don't want to do
the work twice (there's lots of room for error when playing with interrupts).
If somebody out there knows where I can get these functions, or if
anybody has any idea where I might look I'd apreciate the info.
By the way, I mention msc v5.0 because I understand it's got a better
library (nothing like a little competition to improve a product). Does v5.0
actually have alarm()?
