Hello,
	Recently I downloaded your beta version of GNU (b18), to evaluate it. I
want to migrate some programs from a unix system (made with the Solaris
GNU) to my NT system. 

I can compile and link my program but it don´t works correctly.
The problem is that I use the signal and alarm functions. For example:

signal(SIGALRM, catcher_function);
alarm(5);

The problem is that the program never execute the function
"catcher_function" after the time established by the alarm function.

(This program run perfectly in unix).
The same occurs with the function kill.
¿ What must I do to use this functions ?
¿ Must I write the program on a different way or use other functions ?
¿ WINDOWS NT support this features ?

I'll hope that you can explain me, what is the problem.
I am very interested in your project.

Thank you very much.

Mario Yañez
