*sigh* , let me repeat myself just one more time...
dos: disk operating system: Microsoft is not the only company to have
written one, several companies have.
DDE: direct data exchange: not in *microsoft* dos, no,, but there is message
passing like dde in Caldera's drdos, and drdos is 100% compatable with
msdos, and it's been around for 15 years or so,, and it does multitasking,
plus it has a gui, an internet browser, email clients, networking, etc..
and you can run it with dosemu/linux. And it's free. Caldera has a
long-running lawsuit against Microsoft, and i expect Caldera to win. But
you'd better get it soon if you want it, it looks to me as tho Caldera is
shifting it's focus to linux sales and support. Linux has great publicity,
no dos does.
Take a look at:
http://www.lineo.com/products/drdos.html
If you do load up drdos, your Eu dos apps can msg back and forth in two ways
from what i understand,, msg mailboxes that require polling by the recieving
app, or priority msgs where the app is banged on by drdos to get it's
attention.
