- I am porting some Unix code to the MS Windows
- platform. I have a few questions on what is
- the best way to incorporate the WinSock without
- making major modifications to the Unix IPC code.
-
- My main concern is on how to replace the BSD select.
- The simplest way is to replace it with WinSock's
- blocking select. This select internally uses PeekMessage
- (according to the DefaultBlockingHook in section 4.3.13).
- However, the winsock document strongly discourages
- the use of blocking call. Does this concern apply to the
- blocking select? I would not think so because the
- PeekMessage call yields control to other programs
- when message is available, right?
-
- Another approach is to use the WSAsyncSelect(), but
- this would entail too much modifications to the code.
-
- Any suggestion is greatly appreciated.
-
- Please respond to "young@telebit.com" direct or cc:,
- since I don't know whether my sign-up request to
- winsock-request is working yet.
-
- Thank you very much.

- A standard problem. Erase the file news.grp in the directory where you have
- Trumpet News. Then click on Group Subscribe. The list of available groups will
- be regenerated.
