  I found the IPC functionality from madshi.net
(http://help.madshi.net/IPC.htm) to work very nicely.

  I needed a way to send messages from a screensaver I was writing to
another process on the same box, and SendMessage didn't seem to work when a
screensaver was active (which I found strange, but anyway...), and the IPC
stuff from madshi works flawlessly.

  HTH,

  C.

  May I ask what is the fastest way to send data between process on same
computer on windows? I assume sendmessage api faster than semaphore waiting,
of course faster than TCP/IP which will go through huge amounts of tcp/ip
stack. I just want lowest overhead on per call. Anyone have any experiences
on that?
