Just to set the record straight: The MS-DOS build has its own version of `select', see msdos.c:sys_select. I guess by "does not need it" you meant that the DOS build does not support networking and async subprocesses -- which is true. But it still needs `select' to check for keyboard and mouse input. > so the select emulation in sysdep.c can go. The above does not affect this conclusion in any way, of course.
