Since I found the ASYNC interface under Windows 95 to be very buggy in libwww, I switched to using select and the use of the timeout interface in library to handle user events. This worked just fine, both under Win95 and Unix. And it's a bit more portable than registering X connection sockets with the library... Gunnar
