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.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

class=072492821-07052007><FONT face=Arial>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?</FONT></SPAN></FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
