You have several choices with OS/2, but I would probably use named
pipes.  For an excellent book on implementing same, see _Client/Server
Programming with OS/2 2.0_ by Robert Orfali and Dan Harkey, VNR Computer
Library Press.  I wrote a client/server app under OS/2 1.1 a few years
ago which used named pipes and it was fairly painless (even without the
above book).  You could also used shared memory and semaphores or message
queues, but named pipes are really easy and you can even use them across
a Netware or LAN Manager network.  Now that portable Netware is available
for some UNIXen, you can even run named pipes to UNIX servers, e.g. AIX!
Good luck with your C/S application.
