Does it work on win95 as well as nt?  I was under the impression that win95
only supported named pipe clients, not servers.  Maybe the key here is
NAMED.  Anyway, the goal is to send messages to a non-gui app in a way that
is portable between unix and windoze.  My though was named pipes.  My
fallback was memory-mapped files.  What would you suggest?
Thanks.
