It's not a question of "couldn't be bothered", but rather "didn't need to
before". I have subscribed now but please keep me on the cc list as I
expect it will take a while to process.
I did uncover some messages on dejanews yesterday before posting but
they pointed at ioctl's that were unhelpful when you want to do more
than just wait for control lines - I need to wait for input on a range
of fd's too. The messages I saw ended the thread with 'perhaps select
can be used but I don't know how' (or something like that). Is this the
thread you are referring to?

Done that now. Nothing obvious to a non-kernel guru like me other than
the ioctl's to wait for changes but that puts a large dent in doing
anything else in the program unless I resort to using threads or some
form of ipc between processes that I'd much rather avoid. Is that the
only way or can select be used?
Thank you,
