Socket Select() Delimiter

Hello,
This is a tricky question,
I've been looking all over for an answer for this,
any help will be VERY appreciated...

I'm working on a Socket server which multiplexes
between the open sockets using the IO:Select()
function.

I have a loop that waits for data from any of
the sockets.

from what I experienced, the select function waits for a CR/LF delimiter and it knows it has data ready for reading...

how can I change the CR/LF delimiter into a different one ?

(I have a client application which I can't change who uses ascii#0 delimiter)

I'm compiling using GCC on cygwin,
but its going to run on Linux.

Much Thanks;
Lee.

This select function waits for data to arrive, it doesn't care what type. The problem may be with your client, in that it only sends the data when you hit enter?

>>(I have a client application which I can't change who uses ascii#0 delimiter)
So do I.

Thanks,
I've been looking in the wrong direction...

ps: What do you think is the maximum connections a Select function can handle ?

I got up to 260 connections with Perl and I expect to get more with C...
