I'm looking for an example of the $CRMPSC system service called
from Pascal. (At least I think that's what I'm looking for). Here's the
problem: I want to have a bunch of identical images running in memory at
the same time, each capable of changing the variables, for cheap inter-process
communication. I rejected Mailboxes for this task because of the volume
of data that needs to be stored. I'm willing to worry about things like
race conditions on my own, but I need to figure out how to actually make
the Pascal variables shared. From reading the manuals, this appears to
be a global section I'm looking for.
Does anybody out there have an example of doing this from Pascal?
I'm also interested in knowing what privs are necessary (preferably none,
but if that's not possible, I'll live with it.)
Thanks to anybody who can respond, and to the rest of you for
listening.
