Hello, there are two questions to YOU, the MINIX community: 1) has anybody implemented pseudo-ttys for MINIX? 2) has anybody implemented the select-systemcall of BSD Unix? Any hints where to get a source or how to implement them would be wellcome.

Yes some time ago - But lost ( disk crash ) i may give you the hints: create a new kernel task called PTTY or so. copy most of the tty driver and modify it i am working currently on a reimplementation of the PTTY driver. but i need a bit of time currently for doing this if you have 3-4 weeks time i am probably be able to post it. >2) has anybody implemented the select-systemcall of BSD Unix? same as above and lost ! i had implemented it in the FS area. >Any hints where to get a source or how to implement them >would be wellcome. the call does a `select call to any currently opened device driver ( wich is specified in the mask of the select call ) and finnally a call to the clock task for waiting. sorry can't rember the rest. i am **NOT** working currently at the select call. I would like to hear also from progress in MGR development ??
