> ready_to_read: schannel -> bool Unfortunately .. I cannot see how to use this. Suppose you have two channels and check each one to see if it's ready to read. Ok, so neither of them are ready. What do you do? So its a bad idea. [Why? Because the answer is: yield control in the hope another fibre will write to one of the channels. How do you do that? Duh .. by reading or writing on a channel. It's easy to program a "select" operation without the suggested new feature.] -- john skaller skal...@users.sourceforge.net http://felix-lang.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ LogMeIn Rescue: Anywhere, Anytime Remote support for IT.
