hi, Could the wait function be extended to wait on files? Julian

how would this work for you? or rather, what would you be able to do more easily if you had this capability? At 04:14 PM 3/29/01 +1200, Julian Kinraid wrote:

Hi, I think this would be useful too, but I'm not sure about portability. UNIX can wait for any file handle, but Windows cannot directly wait for socket handles. AmigaOS and Windows even support directory notifications, your application gets a message whenever any file in a directory changes. -- Michal Kracik Bob Racko wrote:
