- Yes, with one exception. I believe FTP's PC/TCP does not support the
- use of select to asynchronously detect the establishment of a connection
- on a listenning socket. Someone will surely correct me if I'm wrong.
-
- Unless the code is buggy (and inspection doesn't reveal anything obvious),
- we should report a listening socket with connections available for accept()
- as readable.
-
- If you plan for this to work as a TSR, there are a lot of big sacrifices
- to make, and you would be best off to drop any thought of starting
- with UNIX code.
-
- Amen.
