select() in BeOS only works on sockets. MC uses select() on file descriptors. It should be possible to "emulate" select() by using asynchronous I/O, but it's very ugly. I don't know if that's what BeOS designers want programs to do or it's a pure limitation with no "secret message". I never bothered to ask. -- Regards, Pavel Roskin _______________________________________________ Mc mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/mc
