Thanks for the pointer! Am I correct in assuming that there is no "more high-level" mechanism for scheduling more than one file descriptor? Like select(2) or poll(2) would do? I guess, I could implement it on top of those functions with some clever forkIO'ing, but I wonder whether that's particularly efficient? I'm asking because I am fairly certain that other people will run into this problem too. It would be nice to have a more generic mechanism for this purpose, particularly if it will (eventually) be supported by other implementations as well. I mean, all the necessary infrastructure is bound to be available in the run-time system anyway. Peter
