SPUG: Shared memory system

[Bill Alford]

I've got a play project I'm working on where I'd like shared memory
between processes.  Unfortunately, I want it to run on Windows and Unix.  
The IPC routines don't work for the ActiveState libraries I have played
with.  And I want to avoid coding two paths for each OS.

Does anyone have a suggestion other than implementing my own server to
manage the data and communicating via sockets?  (Which, for what I'm doing 
might be the better solution anyway.  I just want more options. :)

Thanks,
	Bill
