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.
