I vaguely remember some earlier postings about this, but I don't have
them anymore.

Has anyone got any ideas on communicating between a non-windows app
running in background (386 enhanced mode only) and a windows app? What
I'm trying to do is run a compute bound task as a non-windows app to
get it time sliced, yet allow it to send messages from time to time
to a windows task which will then put information onto a window to
keep the user informed of what's going on.

Thanks,
Ralph
