Does it work on win95 as well as nt? I was under the impression that win95
only supported named pipe clients, not servers. Maybe the key here is
NAMED. Anyway, the goal is to send messages to a non-gui app in a way that
is portable between unix and windoze. My though was named pipes. My
fallback was memory-mapped files. What would you suggest?
Thanks.
