Multi-standalone communication

[Jesse Sng]

Hi,

I've only been skimming through this discussion, but IF you are only 
running on the Mac, you might want to try using AppleEvents to 
communicate between the 2 apps in a peer to peer manner.

You can design specific AE messages to mean certain things and then 
have the receiving app take appropriate action. You are able also to 
pass parameters and it need be, even have these 2 apps work across 
the network on different machines.

I haven't had a chance to attempt all this on OS X, but since 
AppleEvents have been migrated over, it should pretty much just work 
with some minor modifications.

Years back, I was able to even have this work across a LAN bridge 
that used a modem so that I could remotely control apps that were on 
a large fibre network, all from the comfort of home.
