I am starting a new project where an X client is reading a port
and collecting data from another machine.  I would like the data
collected by this 'collector client' to be sent to other X clients
to be analyzed, displayed, saved, etc.  I am using the
XSendEvent(..., XClientMessageEvent) to send the data to all clients
that registered their interest with the 'collector client'.  This allows
me to send 20 bytes of data at a time.  It seems to me that I am
replicating a small portion of X since when a client has an interest
in the data it has to register itself, the kind of messages it is
interested in receiving from the collector, it also has to unregister
itself when it no longer needs the data (usually before it dies).
Is there a better way to send data between clients or am I on the
right track.




Thanks in advance.
