Subject: process communication ?
Date: Wed, 27 Mar 1996 02:50:39 -0500

Hello,

I've got a rather simple problem: What is the fastest way of  
communication between two ordinary processes on plan9 on one or on  
several machines. First I tried it through the server registry  
/srv-directory, but it's rather slow. Then I thought using the  
postnote-command would be appropriate. Yet the note-file of  a proc  
allows only 64 bytes and sooner or later I guess I have to use the  
IL or TCP/IP in order to communicate with processes on another  
terminal. Unfortunately I am not which decision would be wiser.

So, it thanX if you can help me in this (simple) matter.
