Systems: Sun3, Sun4 / SunOS 4.0.3
Compilers: Sun's C++ (we're still waiting for 1st customer ship)
	   and GNU's g++ (which we have)

I`m pretty new to the object-oriented / C++ environment and would
appreciate advice from those more experienced regarding the sharing
of C++ objects BETWEEN processes.  In particular,

	(1) is this possible? if so, how?
	(2) can systemV shared memory (shm) be used?
	    is it appropriate? are C++ and shm compatible?
	(3) are light weight processes (lwp) a better alternative?
	(4) other than shm and lwp, are there any other mechanisms
	    available for sharing objects?

Please email responses.  If there's sufficient interest, I'll
summarize and post responses. Thanks in advance.
