I want to avoid JNI, since portability is a goal here.The DDE server and the NT
driver will be running on Windows (Intel HW) but Iwould like non Windows users on
networked machines to be able to run both Java
programs. Is this possible, or would I have to create a user mode Win32 layer
to talk to DDE or the device driver and then in turn expose an interface
(pipe? socket?) that Java could hook into? What forms of IPC are supported in
Java and available in all Java platforms?
