Hello everyone.

I need desperately to put a timeout on my program, compiled under DJGPP. I
looked at the online documentation and found that setrlimit is, by now,
implemented as a dummy.

(a) does the DJGPP staff plan to fully implement it in the near future?
(b) if not, d'ya know any other way to stop a program still running after n
    seconds without using setrlimit() ?
(c) in the 2.02 "what's new" section, it is stated that getrusage and setrusage
    have been implemented. What is "setrusage" (couldn't find it in any gcc
    documentation)?

Thank you in advance.
