I have some programs written for BSD4.1 that use multiplex files that I am trying to convert for use with BSD4.2 We are not currently running 4.2, but will undoubtably convert to it as soon as it is publicly available. As I understand it, multiplexed files will go away in BSD4.2 and will be replaced with the new "Inter Process Communication" Facility. Now I have some documentation that I obtained at USENIX (Boston) dated February 14, 1982 but the IPC facility is not fully explained. Is it possible for someone out there with better documentation to send it to me? I am really only interested in the Inter Process facility, or the public memory mapping (I am not clear on how this is intended to be used.) I really don't care about networks or machine to machine process interaction. THANX in advance, John P. Nelson (decvax!genradbolton!john)
