Is there any way for a process and a subprocess to share an I/O channel in VMS? I have a program which accesses a graphics display (an Evans & Sutherland PS350) using The Wollongong Group's TCP/IP. The program is divided into two parts: one controlling how graphical objects are manipulated, the other controlling what the objects look like. Both processes need to access the graphics display, but the display only accepts one TCP connection at a time (i.e. I can't just open another channel to the graphics display in the subprocess). I already have the channel to the display established when I start the subprocess; is there any way I can get the subprocess to "know" about this channel? Thanks, Conrad Huang conrad@ucsf-cgl.arpa PS This is for VMS 4.2 on a 780.
