Thanks

If there is a network they share, TCP/IP would work. A client/server architecture.

Hi Travis,
Yes, I'm just not sure of the best way to do it with Lazarus.

if performance is not an issue: By far the easiest will be to let one app be a HTTP server, the other a HTTP client.

If you need high performance, then you should look at protocols like websocket (bauglir websocket) or a simple TCP/IP client server protocol.

If the communication is RPC style, I can very much recommend WST. It can handle both HTTP transport and TCP/IP transport. I've been using it for years, it beats some of the commercial products in Delphi. It takes care of the details.

Please avoid top-posting.(unless you have good reason for it; most email/news readers have a setting of where you start your reply, with others you just scroll down below the quote and type there)

Maybe instead of re-inventing a protocol, try looking at ones already in use, or describe what you want it to do and someone would hint. (e.g. what do you want to send/receive, are the machines in same subnet/network, are they p2p communications or one server, multiple clients involved?)

Kind Regards
