Windows has signal (and SigAction) support. Obviously (sigh) not using the same API but it is possible to achieve the same behaviors using the windows API. For example, there is already exception for special cases like SIGALRM, windows API also uses a timer (CreateWaitableTimer & co). Once the code is in cvs, I can give it a try to port zend_signal to windows (not before alpha1 but before alpha2 :) Cheers, -- Pierre http://blog.thepimp.net | http://www.libgd.org
