Lines: 12 The thing that did it was when I had to reboot because pcomm had hung. After investigation I found that the 3.5 version of the Unix-PC OS has the old signal race condition. If the alarm goes off before the pause(2) call well good night, with no chance of waking-up. I'm working on a fix, please stay tuned. -- __ _ __ / ) // / ) / / / __. __ __ __ , // /--< __. /_ _ __ Darryl Baker /__/_(_/|_/ (_/ (_/ (_/_
