I am wanting to try writing a simple little chat server in it. The problem is, I'm trying to find something in ruby similar to the select() function in C/Python that returns a list of readable/writeable/error sockets, but I can't seem to find one. Am I being completely dense and missing something obvious? I'll be the first to admit I'm not a very good programmer, so thats entirely possible. I would appreciate it if someone could point me to a reference to it, or even a complete chat server program. Thanks, Kuros ------ extPart_000_0018_01C30950.4BC60C50 Content-Type: text/html; charset so-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <META content="MSHTML 6.00.2722.900" name=GENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=#ffffff> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi Everyone,</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm very new to Ruby, I generally work in Python.
