We would like to have a process do a blocking wait on a System V, Release 3, message queue, but be able to terminate the wait on an ESC (or similar) character from the keyboard. We thought of a kludgy way, i.e., to have one process waiting on the message queue and a second process signal the first when it receives keyboard input. Are there better solutions? (We know how to do it in DOS. :-) Please email responses to me at address given below. Brian Walsh bww@uswat.uswest.com
