Hi there, I have been using the ability to add my own primitives in Smalltalk-80 to enable to acces the outside world. It works fine for me. I am now willing to give the outside world the ability to get a hook in Smalltalk. I am considering the use of the signals interrupts in unix (BTW I am using Smalltalk-80 V2.5 on Sun 3 and Sparcstations). The only way to get into the smalltalk image would be to use the UPpostEvent() function or to establish a smalltalk process polling for incoming requests. Has anyone tried this kind of things before? Are there any other possibilities? Thanks in advance Franck ****** +----------------------------+---------------------------------------------+ |Franck BOISSIERE | Tel: Int'l access + 33 99 02 46 81 | |Prototyping Lab Manager | FAX: Int'l access + 33 99 02 40 98 | |Dept STM/SEM | TELEX: 740 284 F | |C.C.E.T.T. |E-Mail: ...!mcvax!inria!irisa!boissier | |B.P. 59 | boissier@irisa.irisa.fr | |35512 CESSON SEVIGNE CEDEX | boissier@ccettix.UUCP | | FRANCE | | +----------------------------+---------------------------------------------+ -- Franck BOISSIERE boissier@irisa.irisa.fr Prototyping Lab Manager boissier@ccettix.UUCP C.C.E.T.T.
