Re: [gnugo-devel] Re: A problem of using select in gmp_check.

[Jens Yllman]

select() has always been there in network versions of windows. The problem 
is that it only handles network connections. Not files or pipes as Unix 
version does. So I'm not sure this code actually works if you compile 
native windows. Under cygwin it should work, maybe. Cause cygwin should 
emulate this if not available in windows.
