  I have been using Amaya for a long time as the Java core for Amaya.
Amaya is the W3C testbed for browsing and editing tools. It's based
on a M?otif/X-windows core (at least on Unices) and until now I more
or less suceeded making Kaffe and Motif work together.
  However recent (2 last months) changes really makes this difficult
now, for example fixfd was removed from syscall interface (I inherit
FDs from X and also when creating pipe for the external process doing
the asynchronous DNS queries).
  I really need to have access to low level FD synchronization from
my C code (Amaya still manage the internal select() call ...). For example
I would like to be able to register new FD, and also to know whether
a FD is in a blocking state.

  Maybe the approach I have taken in the past doesn't fit well with new
developments in Kaffe, for example keeping the control of the inner select()
will be harder and harder, but I would prefer getting some feedback from
you before investing a lot of time redefining (again !) the mechanisms
to embed Kaffe into Amaya,

Daniel
