I haven't been able to find any definite or detailed information about interprocess communication, under OS/2 2.0, between a program running in a DOS compatibility box and an OS/2 program. Anybody seen anything that's not just hype and/or conjecture? -- Thanks. Mike Carroll R.L.G. Internet: br.mjc@forsythe.stanfor.edu 1200 Villa Bitnet: br.mjc@rlg.bitnet Mountain View, CA 94041

Well, since OS/2 will support DPMI, you would probably do IPC between DOS boxes and an OS/2 program via INT 2F calls. 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).

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 | +---------------------------------------+-----------------------------------+
