Subject: Re: [9fans] setitimer equivalent, and sigvtalarm equivalent

Hi,

I=E2=80=99m not sure I understand your proposal.

But looking more at the code I need to port, an interpreter, I think
the main issue is that the interpreter relies on sigvtalarm as
a way to preempt the interpreted program while allowing
the user program to use only sigalarm. So more generally
the problem is how can I have two alarms in plan9? I see only
one alarm signal in ape, SIGALRM. There is no SIGVTALRM.
