[comp.os.mach] Passing messages between different MACH hosts.

dpc8v@uvacs.cs.Virginia.EDU (Douglas P. Coppage) (06/02/90)

     I am working on a message-passing system for MACH hosts (Master's
degree).  As everyone knows, passing messages within one MACH host is
straightforward.  But how would I pass messages between different
hosts whose implementations of MACH don't exactly match?  To be
specific, the three target machines I will have access to are a BBN
Butterfly (incomplete MACH), a NeXT (with a custom net message
server), and an Encore (not investigated yet).
     Would you happen to have any experience with these machines?
Hints and help will be appreciated greatly.
