I'm getting tired of cobbling information up into messages, and hassling
with the message passing, waiting, etc. Remote procedure call, uses
a runtime library to do all this for you--a message from process A to B
looks just like a procedure call, but the library packs all the args,
sends the message (can even be over a network) uncobbles the message,
calls the real procedure, and then scoots the return value back through
the same path.
Has anyone done this for the Amiga yet? Is anyone else sick of the
message paradigm?
Unrelated--I called SAS about the 5.10a upgrade, and it's on its way--
good as Word Perfect support. The SAS person said Summer 91 for C++ 2.0
release. Hopefully this is remotely correct.
