I have mixed feelings about those types of things. I've recently run across a number of them in some C/C++ libs. On the "pro" side, they can give acceptable behavior and adequate performance and thus suffice for the majority of use. On the "con" side, they're usually an order of magnitude slower than the raw interface, don't quite behave correctly in borderline situations, and tend to produce "One True Path" believers. Of course, so do OSes, editors, languages, GUIs, browsers and colas. > does select really work on ordinary files under Unix, > btw? Sorry, should've said "where a socket is a real fd" or some such... just-like-God-intended-ly y'rs - Gordon
