I shall be working on some communications classes in the very
near future and was wondering if anyone has already written
anything for transmitting Eiffel objects between processes, either
by shared memory, IPC message queues or streams.

My first thought is to use the Eiffel STORABLE mechanism but
to write to a stream instead of a file. Any comments about this
sort of approach?
