- Test programs for IPC using Manx C
- ==================================
-
- These two short programs "Get" and "Have" were written by Brian Witt to
- test out the IPC procedures under Manx/Aztec C. I have taken the editorial
- prerogative in a few places to make some slight changes, updates, and
- cleanups. I haven't changed the functions of the programs at all (I hope!).
-
- The Manx makefile is also included (but the necessary source IPC.c is in
- the IPC_Sources directory). The programs also compile perfectly well under
- Lattice; you should have no problem following the examples in demo_sources
- to do the same thing here.
-
- "Have" accepts messages containing two integer items (in slots 2 and 3),
- and returns their product in the first slot (initially empty). Note that
- it also prints the result in its window, so it should only be run from a
- CLI (and of course it must be a different one from "Get"!!).
-
- "Get" takes two numeric command-line arguments, puts them in a message,
- sends it to "Have", and prints the result. If you don't already have
- "Have" running, it will exit with a message to that effect.
-
- Notice that Brian has used a different ID 'NUMB' from my 'INTG': I haven't
- changed this, but this is the sort of conflict that needs sorting out in a
- public standard -- hopefully over usenet.
