   Hello, I am having a problem using select() under Win95.  I am trying 
to port a program from Linux which needs to poll for input while doing 
more important things.  It works, more or less, under Windows 95 when run 
by itself except that it stops right away upon input and not after a 
new-line, but this is Ok.  The bigger problem is that when run from 
another program, that starts my program as a child process (I believe), 
my program cannot detect any input at all using select() and therefore 
just sits forever.  Does this make any sense?  Do I need to try the 
Cygnus compiler I am hearing about and if so, will it compile anything 
GCC/G++(Gxx) compile?

  Thank you,
