Using Tor signals on Win32 NT (eg. pseudo-signals)?

[eric.jung at yahoo.com]

These scripts are free in the Microsoft world, too. There are many repositories of free scripts--just google. As for signaling being native to Unix for 30 years, that's like saying WM_CLOSE has been native on Windows since 1992. Why doesn't Unix support WM_CLOSE?

In other words, why would you expect Windows support a Unix-specific instruction. Windows is not Unix and never claimed to be. Do you expect VMS and other operating systems to support Unix instructions?

In the open source world these scripts are free for all.

Besides that, signals are working natively on Linux since 12 years
and in Unix since 30 years!

One can choose JavaScript, PERL, Python, PHP, Ruby and
many more. A visit to Sourceforge will reveal the Awful truth!

Once a Micro Softhead too.
