wait( ) hasn't gone away or anything like that :-) It is in the Unicon book appendix E, where live those functions that aren't portable or aren't implemented on a wide range of platforms yet. In looking at the code, there is an apparent Windows implementation, which depends on an underlying Mingw32 function _cwait( ). Maybe it is in Appendix E because that code hasn't been tested adequately on Windows yet. If we determined that wait( ) works just fine on Windows and is reasonably portable, it might deserve promotion into the main language reference in Appendix A.
