Hello friends,

In my Borland compiler this works fine:

    sscanf(FromBuffer, "%s %s %s %d", Buf1, Buf2, Buf3, &Num);

However in DJGPP things seem different. How can I manage this without too
much bother? DJ seems to not read more than 1 string.

Second question:

In Borland I use a windows lib. It supports PeekNamedPipe(). How to do this
in DJ?

Purpose: My character based chess engine is hanged into a graphical chess
interface. This interface sets up pipes to read from my stdout en send
messages to my stdin. Whenever there is a message, I have to be notified, so
I can terminate the search and handle the input. Just notify. If I know
there *is* input, I can handle it with scanf().

Help is very much appreciated!

Bas Hamstra.
