According to online information and FAQ, I am led to believe it should. A program which I am attempting to port to Cygnus calls select() to multiplex standard-in and a network socket. The network connect, and I/O over the socket works. However, the value returned by select() always is -1 and the value in errno is 1 (EPERM), both on NT 3.51 and 4.0. I have not tried this on Win95. On Solaris 2.5.1, I link with libsocket and libnsl. On Cygnus, I am linking without any additional libraries. -- Larry Gerhardstein -- Kennewick, Washington larry@3-cities.com - For help on using this list, send a message to "gnu-win32-request@cygnus.com" with one line of text: "help".
