No applications NEED shared memory as far as i know but i thought it might
be a cool little thingy to replace the use of sockets or the such across
two processes on the same machine because its faster (or so i have been told)
I was just going to experiment with shared memory in C a bit, find out if
it really is useful and then possibly wrap some routines up. nothing major i
guess.
