To all of you DOS gurus:
1) Is there a way to do non-blocking reads from an AmigaDOS
FileHandle?
2) Is there a way to get a signal when I/O is available on
a FileHandle?
The reason that I ask is this: I'm writing a program that
needs to be able to do I/O on the serial & parallel ports
as well as on AmigaDOS FileHandles. But it needs to be able
to go about it's business until there is something to be read.
I guess what I'm looking for is something along the lines of
the UNIX select() call.
As you may have guessed, I don't have the DOS manual. (I was
hoping that the 1.3 version would come out soon, but it turns
out I need these answers sooner.)
Thanks,
Todd Williamson
