I'd like a function (in C for all you fortran holdouts) that would tell me if there is data on the stream to read, this would be ideal: if (pending(fd) == 1) { /* there is data to read ... read data ... } else { /* no data...we can go on */ ... } this is for SYS V and I'm sans a select...so keep that in mind. thanx in advance. -k ******************************************************************************** Cathy Huse: HB 1326, Dartmouth College, Hanover, New Hampshire; 03755 InterNet: kender@eleazar.dartmouth.edu "What does an actor want with a conscience anyway?" --Jiminy Cricket
