Does anyone know if there is a method for allowing 2 concurrent processes to communicate data between themselves when using desqview. I'm thinking about porting an application from QNX (a multi-tasking OS) to some DOS environments, and I'm wondering if it is possible to do this using desqview (e.g. by using share and having a common file open'd, with locks on the file to exclude simultaneous writing).

This is all handled by DESQview via named queues. It works well (I write DESQview programs for a living). Cheers!
