_I_ don't. Older Tk's used select() 'cos the Win32 port was basically just 
a clone of the UNIX port. fileevent worked quite well. Then I switched 
in the "real" Tcl/Tk Win32 stuff (but minus Tcl_Channel) and things got
worse. Since then I have been messing with it. I am more than willing to 
believe that using select() might work.
