i'm aggry with you
+at this time i'll use select for windows and linux (or poll for linux)
+and design my server so that i can implement another better solution.
+
+has i said before better solution under windows are
+ - are windows message and event and i don't want use it
+ - overlapped I/O but i don't really understand how it works
+   so it's not easy to design a server which is able to use select and this
+   technic. perhaps you already know it but you can take a look at
+http://www.cyberport.com/~tangent/programming/winsock/articles/io-strategies.html
+
+
+> I was more or less suggesting than the solution is not a matter of adopting
+> select() or not, but rather implies a deeper reflexion on the pb of service
+> scheduling... And being cross-platform doesn't mean being uniform, it would
+> be a shame to ignore each OS's specificity. An approach could be to get the
+> best implementation, say, for Linux and Windows, find out an abstract model
+> that unifies both and brings this into NeL. Here again, just a hint ...
