Hello All,

Does the IPC unit written for linux by Michael Van Canneyt now support other platforms?

I ask because I wrote one myself but its based on disk IO which is fast - but not as fast as in memory IPC would be.

Thank you for any IPC suggestions or answers in advance!

Best Regards,
Jason P Sage

Yes, since 2.0 it supports FreeBSD and some tests with OS X were also done (a handful of functions isn't implemented on OS X, see interface), using the documentation examples.

However it is a bit sensitive to correct use, and avoiding linux specific tricks and options.

He means simpleipc in the fcl, I assume ?
