Consider this: You use FD_SET() to add a socket to the set (you just bump_up max_fd if socket > max_Fd) But when using FD_CLR() to remove a socket how do we know which socket in this set has the highest number now and whats the number anyway (beside 42) then ? Seems like we need a list for every set containing the current socket numbers in the set (if I'm not totally wrong :) because AFAIK if you don't keep a list of the numbers of a set without brute force you can't retrieve the list. Maybe we should just stick to the single function which in addition returns the handle of the socket itself. - Markus
