in reply to Tk fileevent with win32 sockets

The fileevent Tk doc states "On windows platforms fileevent is limited in the types of filehandles that behave correctly." Not sure if that's relevant. Anyone know?

    I always had the impression that at least sockets would work on Win32 with fileevent.

    If 'behave correctly' means behaves like Unix filehandles then sockets are the only handles (AFAIK) on windows that get even close.
