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
