Actually, I'd like a way to do asynchronous reading. Polling or select
or some such, if possible, in order that servers could be written in
Icon. I have a very kludgy way to do it that actually has some
advantages, but I'd like to hear if there's already a better solution
than adding things to the interpreter. Also, the code mentioned I would
like to see. -- Darren
