Hi Martin,
Sorry, i should have been a little more clear: if there is a overlapped console, the code in ReadFile (ie. the implemention) will ignore the fact that it is a console, and treat it as a standard overlapped file. In other words, ReadFile should check if the fd is a console fd first, then check if it has the overlapped flag. What you're trying to do is good, and my complaint is just a quibble since the console code doesn't support overlapped operations now anyway :-] Mike Original message from: Martin Wilck <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > >On Fri, 4 Jan 2002, Mike McCormack wrote: > >> looks good to me.
