Folks:

I'm working on a TCP/IP program that I need to timeout after a specified
amount of time waiting on a read.

I understand the best way to do this would probably to use select(), but
that would require that I rework the program a lot more than I currently
have time for.

Is there any other way to specify a timeout on a read() operation?

I thought I could use the SetSockOpt api with SO_RCVTIMEO, but the IBM docs
indicate that this isn't supported.

Thanks!

david
