thank you for the instructions..

But I have done the same thing, and some programs fail to work. Martin
Granell (who did the original port from 16-bit) has said that the version
has no blocking I/O but Michael Leodolter who did this port said he has
added these capabilities.

I have written a queuing HTTP server which is single-process, but supports
multiple clients. A simple model actually. I use read(), write() and
select() for the I/O multiplexing. I changed all read's to read_s and
write to write_s for the WATTCP library, and compiled. Even with -Wall, no
errors.. *but* when the server runs, no computer can connect to it.. mind,
the client does not say "host not responding" or something.. it just sits
there. I don't use major incompatible code, so why isn't it working? n.b.
ping uses ICMP really.

cheers,
