Unfortunately, the interfaces to the asynchronous facilities vary greatly between platforms. I've found that polling is rarely enough. (MzScheme actually provides some functionality to interface with asynchronous facilities. It's a good start, but needs work to be made more Scheme-implementation-agnostic.) While this is an issue that's clearly worth addressing, it's not clear to me that it needs to be done in this SRFI. -- Cheers =8-} Mike Friede, Völkerverständigung und überhaupt blabla
