In previous articles, the concept of IPC (Inter Process Communications)
standards has been put forward.  I like the sound of the idea, but am not
familiar enough with concept to debate its internals.  However, there is
one question I could put forth to stimulate this (I hope).  What is being
suggested sounds much like the concepts of IPC that are being used in
SUN's version of UNIX (yeah, I know that's not too surprising).  Isn't
there a portable IPC/RPC package that Sun has put in the public domain to
encourage people to support their system?  Would it make sense to adopt
this as a standard?  (yeah, Amigas and Suns on a network remotely controlling
each other :)  I believe the package just recently went by in comp.sources...

And now back to your local stations...
