The rxapi stuff in *nix is what I'm in the process of replacing, so there will be a service process on both platforms. The rxapi server holds all of the data that is used in a cross-process fashion. There are 3 different subsystems in this process. 1) The queue manager. All of the queue data and the queue control information is managed by that. 2) The macrospace. ditto. 3) The registration manager. This manages the three types of cross-process registrations that can be made (functions, command handlers, and exit handlers). The rexxapi.dll is all of the APIs that access the information stored in this other process. > > How does this tie in to the native API, or does it?

The only real connection to the native API is that in the new APIs, there's less use of the registered function and exit handlers, so all of the cross-process IPC muck isn't used.
