A poor Afghani and a downtrodden Iraqi are stumbling through the desert looking for work. They can't find any, so decide they will go look in an American desert instead. They walk and walk, ending up in silicon valley. Suddenly, out of the haze they see a tree hanging with job notices of every type - ATL, MFC, FU2... even some greenish looking cards. "It's a Microsoft Tree Salim - we're saved!" Sameer takes off running, and grabs an ad. Just as he does, a US Constitution-Shredding Government Official steps out from behind the tree and hand cuffs him for having the wrong color skin. His friend quickly drops down to the ground, and calls across the leaflet strewn land: "Salim! Salim! What happenned?!?!" Hey As he lay dying, without a lawyer, Salim calls out... "Ugh, run friend, run! It's not from microsoft... it's from Ashcroft!!" :((

I think you can use Winsock's "select" statement. Take a look at that along with the TIMEVAL structure. Oh yeah, that only works on Winsock 2.0
