Well, as Roman has pointed out, that’s not a great solution since iemnet doesn’t build on Windows as of 2012. Looks like select() exists in the Win API but only works with BSD socket handles. There are Windows specific calls for the same functionality with file handles though, ie. WaitForMultipleObjects(): http://oldwiki.mingw.org/index.php/sockets http://oldwiki.mingw.org/index.php/sockets

thanks for the research.

unfortunately, not being able to use select() on the pipe is a knock-out criterion for iemnet (iirc).
