Hi.  The simple version of my question is, is there an equivalent
function in SysV for BSD's select()?

If the answer is no, here's what I am trying to do.  I want to get input
from either the keyboard or from some other file description.  I don't
want to sit around polling the two, because that would be ridiculous.  Is
there any reasonable way to do that on SysV?  (Actually, the question
should be, is there anyway to do that on non-bsd systems?)

Thanks for any suggestions.
