It would be a peer-to-peer type of access. I was wondering if any of the dynamic linking methods used in Unix-like shared libraries (or even other OS's) will be useful. I was also wondering if the way applications in user-space invoke system-level functions in Real operating systems could be used to invoke such "message passing". Is there a way to do this in user-space? Or must it be a whole OS? Please reply via email. -- Protect our endangered bandwidth - reply by email. NO BIG SIGS!
