Hello,

    I'd like to announce libmslot 0.1.

    libmslot is a library of functions for using the LAN Manager Mailslot API,
which is available under DOS, Windows 9x and Windows NT. Mailslots are a
unidirectional form of Interprocess Communication (IPC). The IPC can be
between local processes, a local and a remote process or a local and all
remote processes (broadcast).

    The library provides two interfaces: a "raw" interface for creating
read-/write-only mailslots and a DJGPP File System Extension (FSEXT) interface
for using mailslots with the standard I/O functions.

    The library also provides the openlog(3), syslog(3), vsyslog(3) and
closelog(3) functions. However, a logger using the mailslot library would
need to be written to actually log the messages.

    The library can be downloaded from:

    Thanks, bye,
