This feature will allow a program to sleep on multiple queues, and to wake up when any one of the queues has something put into it. The queues could be TTY I/O, disk I/O or IPC. We are currently using System V. If anyone on the net has seen such a feature, or could recommend an approach on how we could design it ourselves, please let us know. Thanks in advance, Bob Richards Chemical Abstracts Service (614) 421-3600 X2486 ..!cbosgd!osu-eddie!apr!chemabs!bobr
