I found a way to transparently share variables (and code too) between programs, which was welcome here as a brick to a drowning person.
I was there: http://openeuphoria.org/forum/130409.wc. No code, no examples, a dead 14-year-old geocities link, and certainly nothing cross platform.
With all the code for IPC already submitted, why would i add more? And i am sorry about someone else's 14 year old dead geocities link. I don't think cross platform is going to matter when OE drops the windows platform, and since that's all i code for, this contribution would be as dead as all my other contributions.
In what universe would anyone respond positively to that?

In what universe is plain ole IPC the same as transparently and (almost) instantly sharing the user-chosen variable contents between programs? There's no polling, little cpu use, and code is eye candy plus one include file which the preprocessor writes.
I discussed the scheme on irc with the only person i know who was interested in it. But he is a looooooooong way from needing it.
When will it ever happen that people can download a working version of Phix, without coming here and asking about the missing files?
