[quoted lines by yves@mail2.vlaanderen.net on August 15, 2001, at 09:18] Hi: >In case you need global variables you can use shared-memory (shmget,shmctl,shmop) But it doesn't come "naturally", just like trying to get application-specific, invocation-specific global variables doesn't come "naturally" with DLLs. In either case, violating the default paradigm is rather unpleasant. -- Dave Mielke | 2213 Fox Crescent | I believe that the Bible is the Phone: 1-613-726-0014 | Ottawa, Ontario | Word of God.
