[Clug-tech] Advice on Shared Memory IPC under Linux?

[John E Jardine]

Hi Mark,

Thanks for the offer of the book, I've got the 1st version of Unix
Network Programming but haven't consulted it yet.  I'm going to see if I
can break the back of this problem tonight.  This is for a personal
project not a work task.  I've done network programming in C for Linux
before albeit a few years ago.  I'll let you know how it goes.

Cheers,
J.J.
