Subject: Winsock v2
So we're well into the new year. Is discussion of features/changes
for v2 going to take place on this winsock-hackers list, or on another list
I don't yet know about?

Subject: is blocking select a bad idea?
I am porting some Unix code to the MS Windows
platform. I have a few questions on what is
the best way to incorporate the WinSock without
making major modifications to the Unix IPC code.
My main concern is on how to replace the BSD select.
The simplest way is to replace it with WinSock's
blocking select. This select internally uses PeekMessage
(according to the DefaultBlockingHook in section 4.3.13).
However, the winsock document strongly discourages
the use of blocking call. Does this concern apply to the
blocking select? I would not think so because the
PeekMessage call yields control to other programs
when message is available, right?
Another approach is to use the WSAsyncSelect(), but
this would entail too much modifications to the code.
Any suggestion is greatly appreciated.
Please respond to "young@telebit.com" direct or cc:,
since I don't know whether my sign-up request to
winsock-request is working yet.
Thank you very much.
