Multi-standalone communication

[Rob Cozens]

Mark, Richard, et al:

>I think your options are files (slow, and a pain if there's a lot of 
>communication), sockets (datagram connections can make things a bit 
>simpler), system variables (which I've never tried), and read/write 
>to/from process (which I've also never tried).

Two notes:

1.  Read/write to/from process is limited to standalones running on 
the same computer (it doesn't  support communication between 
standalones on different networked computers).

2.  Jan Schenkel's exemplar socket communication library, 
lib_STAMP.rev, is available to subscribers to the revolution_ipc 
group: <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/revolution_ipc/>.

Who are a little wise, the best fooles bee."
