Re: Using alarm()

Thanks for the replies the general opion seems to be "go for it". I received one reply that I think it worth while sharing, from Jonathan Leffler @ Informix. I hope you don't mind my quoiting you Johnathan. -------- BEGIN QUOTE ---------------- It'll work provided you don't try to run the timeouts across keyboard input -- I4GL uses alarm() itself during keyboard input to see whether the ESC you typed was part of a function key sequence or not.

Please don't make the mistake of believing anybody else is stupid enough to think like this! ------------------------------------------------------------------- Stuart Hemming | shemminga@cix.compulink.co.uk The Data Base | Tel: + 44 (0) 115 925 0005 Nottingham UK | Fax: + 44 (0) 115 925 0951 -------------------------------------------------------------------
