I need to have as many as a couple of thousand sockets open and call select() on them. is this at all possible ? the header seems to indicate that I can redefine a constant to increase the size of fd_set from the default of 64. if I do this should I recompile the cygwin dll with the new value ? also how much of a performance hit does cygwin select take as compared to an equivalent winsock function doing a similar job (large no. of sockets) thanks in advance, barnali __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
