IPC on Windows

Hi folks,

Anyone has experience of communicating between different LispWorks programs on Windows? Specifically, I want to send a custom string from one running instance of my application to another.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa365574%28v=vs.85%29.aspx
lists several of Interprocess Communication technics, but so far I haven't figured out how to implement any of them in LispWorks. Some are probably more easily implemented than others.

Regards
Erik

Either sockets or DDE?

Re: IPC on Windows

TCP sockets are the simplest way (see
http://www.lispworks.com/documentation/lw61/LW/html/lw-624.htm and
http://www.lispworks.com/documentation/lw61/LW/html/lw-597.htm), but you could
also use named pipes (see examples/delivery/ntservice/ and
http://www.lispworks.com/documentation/lw61/LW/html/lw-1461.htm).
