select function

["Stéphane Guiboud-Ribaud" <guiboud at netmansys dot fr>]

Regarding the Win32 API of the select function, only SOCKET objects could
be used within fd_set structure.
On UNIX, you can use file descriptor and socket descriptor.
* Is the select function in cygnus package provide the same functionality
?
* If not, is there function(s) of Win32 API or inside cygnus package
to check whether a file handle (as a HANDLE object) is ready to read or
to write ?
* Do a mailing list exist for the Microsoft Visual C++ compiler ?
