Could anybody advise me where to begin reading in the 7.0b4 documentation to help me set up a *very* simple interprocess communication system between two programs? Specifically, I want to do something that is nearly trivial under UNIX: I want one program to launch another one and to maintain control of standard input/output for that second (server-like) process. Thus, at present I have a working program (written using THINK C) which responds to console input and displays its results on the teletype-style console. I need to put another `shell' around it, in a sense. Is that trivial, possible, difficult, or what? I have not, thus far, been able to see a straightforward way to begin to approach this, after perusing the Apple Event Registry and Inside Macintosh Volume VI, etc., on the 7.0b4 CD-ROM. Help!!! :-) - ^z (Mark Zimmermann, science@oasys.dt.navy.mil, AppleLink `zimmermann')
