Is BSD 4.3 select() function included in SVR3 ?

I notice that some systems, like Motorola Delta systems, running
System V Release 3 includes this function, but our Altos system, also
running SVR3 doesn't !

select() is not part of SysVR3. Some particular implementations have it. As
mentioned in another response, 386/ix 2.0.2 has it in the TCP/IP package.
SysVR3 does however have poll(), which performs roughly the same function
on streams. Unfortunately, it doesn't work on pipes, which is more than a bit
of a bummer.
