Be careful with this.  Under Unix, sockets and file descriptors can be used
interchangably.  This is not the case with our TCP/IP stack on VMS
(although other stacks allow this).  If you need this feature, contact me
directly and I'll see what I can do.

To make a socket non-blocking, you need to call the socket_ioctl() function
with the FIONBIO option.  Specifically, here's an example:
 
    unsigned int enable=1;
    status = socket_ioctl(socket, FIONBIO, &enable);

The gettimeofday() function is not implemented in our current version of
the C compiler.  It is implemented in a new version of the C compiler that
I have planned to install this summer.  Contact me directly for more
information about getting to this version for testing.

I don't think I can help you there.

You can get around this somewhat by adding the following line to your
LOGIN.COM file:
 
    $ LS :== DIR
 
That will create a new "command" called LS that issues the DIR command.
