Hi!

I have to realize the communication between an djgpp-application and a 
Windows-application (a Windows dll, compiled with MC Visual C -- to be more
precise). The two applications exchange data of some 100 bytes,
rather frequently.

My first approach used the DOS-filesystem to perform the data exchange. 
But this turned out to be v e r y   s  l  o  w.

Now, what can I do next?  I think about two things:

1.  use of common memory.

2.  use of DDE.

3.  link a djgpp library with a Windows application (or dll).


Now my questions:

a)  Is it possible to realize one of the approaches mentioned obove?

b)  If it is, how can it be done?

c)  If not, are there any other possibilities to reach my goal?
