- I am having trouble calling the file status setting routines I$SetStt
- in OS-9. In particular, I'm trying to use the C routine _ss_ssig() to have a
- signal sent to me when data is ready on a pipe. At run time, I get the error:
-
- Error #000:208 Unknown Service Code
- A OS-9 call specified an unknown or invalid service code, or a
- getstat/setstat call was made with an unknown status code.
-
- I have tried calling other setstat routines and I get the same error. The
- documentation I have says _ss_ssig() works on pipes, but it appears that
- the pipe device driver doesn't like it.
- Any ideas? I REALLY would like to be able to ue this call.
