Are there mechanisms to perform no delay reads on file handles in ms-dos? I'm using Aztec C 3.4 and they don't seems to support no-delay reads. I looked at the dos manual, and it doesn't seem to support no-delay read requests. It seems I really would like to be able to implement a select call on a bunch of file descriptors so I know which ones are ready for input. Essentially, I want to ask: which file descriptors have pending input? Anyone have any ideas how to implement this? Anyone already implemented it? marty leisner xerox corp. leisner.henr@xerox.com (preferred location) martyl@rocksvax.uucp (alternate address)
