RE: Local Sockets vs. Data Queues

["Nicolay, Paul" <paul_nicolay@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Tom,

Yes, I used them in RPG to synchronise two processes (where one waits for
another and passes data via shared memory)... works fine !

Don't be confused by the rest... semaphores can be used by itself.

Kind regards,
Paul

I'm not that familiar with semaphores, Paul.  Have you used them with RPG?
When I read up on these it was in conjuction with mutexes and signals and
threads.  It seemed to open a Pandora's box of complexity.

Have you used these to good effect?

TIA,
Tom

 |  Hi Tom,

 |  As far as the waiting is concerned... you could use
