Hello all:

I wanted to know a bit more about signals in V2. For example, I set up a 
SIGALRM handler for setitimer (); is it possible for the handler to be 
called in between calls to DOS, for example? this is important as DOS is 
nonreentrant and DOS I/O may be possible in the signal handler. Also, can 
delivery of a signal occur while a library-level function is running? is 
the library (or, the PM parts) reentrant?

Thanks. Sorry about the large chunk of mail I sent yesterday. Now I know 
what a SPAM is...
