I only have v4 (not v4.5 or eCS), but its still treated there as a
"optional" package, certainly from the point of view of maintenance.

I don't have VAC++ or a complete set of API docs either, but it wouldn't
surprise me that select() is available in the socket library, exclusively
for sockets.

I use EMX, which has a select() that does what needs to be done to support
sockets as well as files and (I think) pipes.

I hope to have a look at your bits this weekend.  Will let you know what
transpires.
