Hi Eric,
Assuming your 2 processes are in the same address space you have a few choices. You could memory map a file in both processes. Or you could read/write files. If your processes are on different machines then you probably want a simple socket connection between the tasks for moving data. No rocket science and really no different than what COM did, but without the layer upon layer of complexity. sounds good. I've hunted around before for those file formats without success: is there a description of what the binary format should look like for a J file? I suppose that this data should look the same whether it is received by file / mapped file / or TCP-IP. When I get to it, I'd like to create this file from outside of J. my report back on COM -- after having it run flawlessly on my machine for the last 6 weeks, it broke (someone on the forum had the same issue in January). I'll spare you the details... it was fixed by changing to the j.exe rather than j.dll. All of a sudden those COM configuration nightmares from other projects started flooding back into my mind. I think this is a sign that it is time to move away from COM. thanks, -Steven ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
