I'm in the process of creating my first *real* tooltalk-capable application and have a few questions that perhaps somebody might be able to answer. 1. Is there a *guarantee* that all observers receive my message? 2. I cannot seem to get a little tooltalk pgm to communicate over a WAN. There is no common X session or (obviously) common process group. How do I remedy this? 3. The (sparse) examples that I've seen only send simple ints among session members. Does anyone have any examples of sending a structure? Both simple (ie, no ptrs in struct) and a complex (ie, ptrs) would be helpful examples. 4. My performance tests, informal as they may be, indicate that tooltalk is fine for high-level communication (ie, open app, iconify app) but seems to be slow and perhaps unusable for things like real-time data feeds. Can anyone corroborate this? 5. Can anyone compare (Athena) Zephyr to ToolTalk, or am I comparing apples and pi-mesons here? Thanks, Frank G. -- +-On Assignment at: Lehman Brothers-+-Office: Mercury Technologies, Inc.-+ | World Financial Center, 11th Floor| PO Box 529 | | New York City, NY 10285 Desk: 1515| Fanwood, NJ 07023 | | email: fgreco@shearson.com | email: fgreco@mercury.com |
