Blocking vs non-blocking

Having had a chat with some people who know GemStone far better than I
(while at Smalltalk Solutions) it seems that it would be better to use
non-blocking socket reads (at least in GemStone).

After talking to some VisualWorks people, it seems that VisualWorks
quetly uses non-blocking socket reads, even when you think you are using
blocking reads (!).

So, would anyone have a problem with my moving to using non-blocking
socket reads explicitly in Swazoo?

Thanks,
Bruce

OK then, chaps. Watch this space. ... but don't hold your breath - it
may take a week or two to find the time to do the job.

All the best,
Bruce
