That's how I do it -under windows, and OS/2 will support the same method. Now, if you're -asking "will there be an IPC toolkit?", that I can't answer (I'd be -surprised if there was). - - Joe Herman - U. of Maryland - -dzoey@terminus.umd.edu --- -"Everything is wonderful until you know something about it." Although I have not personally tried it, I am certain that you can use named pipes for OS/2 <--> DOS IPC. However, I believe DOS may not have the capability to create the pipe, only open it. +---------------------------------------+-----------------------------------+ | Carlos Rimola-Sarti | email: car@btr.com | | Communications Solutions, Inc. | phone: 415-903-2585 | +---------------------------------------+-----------------------------------+
