What I want is an efficient way to have these tasks talk to each other. I could use files, but I'de like to have a function like waitformessage() so that I don't have a busy wait loop, and I'de like to have two way communication. I know that AmigaDOS has some message system, however I don't have sufficient documentation to iplement it (and I'de like to have fairly straight forward calls, I don't want to mess around with lots of structures). I seem to remember some kind of library for inter-process communication beign released, does anyone know what this library was called? I'de appreciate any suggestions anyone may have. // Rick Golembiewski rg20+@andrew.cmu.edu \\ \\ #include stddisclaimer.h // \\ "I never respected a man who could spell" // \\ -M. Twain //
