Ah - homework. The canonical method of doing this is for process A to open for exclusive access a file (with filename returned from tmpnam() or similar), dump what it wants to in there, then close it. Process B looks for files that it's able to open, process them, then deletes them after. -- PJH 'Two Dead in Baghdad' not 'product-friendly' - Kent Ertugrul, chief executive of Phorm. http://shabbleland.myminicity.com/env
