If you are doing the above, cmdtool and textedit (among other programs) will spew horrible error messages about select() returning a bad file number. The reason is that <XView>/usr.lib/libxvin/notify/ultrix_cpt.h redefines lots of select() things already found in <sys/types.h>. In fact, warning messages about the redefinitions are generated during the compile. But the redefinitions aren't the same as those in <sys/types.h>, causing badness. I took the crude way out of the problem...I #ifdef notdef 'ed the contents of ultrix_cpt.h so that they weren't used. Probably a better way would be to change the conditions of the compile from #ifdef vax to #if vax && some_other_machine_dependent_cpp_symbol Hope this helps someone out... --Michael Halle Spatial Imaging Group MIT Media Lab
