I wrote a common interface between Eu sessions for Linux a while back in a
little library called RDC (remote dynamic calls.) It is somewhat similar
to Java's RMI (remote method invocation.) Basically you start one program
as the server and register the functions and procedures that can be
called. The client program just gets the routine_ids of the server and
calls them in a fashion similar to call_func and call_proc.
If anyone is interested, I could start the RDC messageboard server program
on my computer again. Only one person connected to it back then... I guess
not too many people have net connections working under Linux.
The server is limited to serving one connection at a time. Unfortunately
the server is also not at all secure. It can be crashed as easily as
sending the wrong number of arguments to a routine. (Rob, error handling
routines, please?)
