Shared Variables between 2 APL WS

[PGilbert]

Is it possible for 2 APL applications running on the same Windows computer to have shared variables that will be common to both applications (like a common namespace) ? If not how to have 2 APL applications talk to each other ?

Thanks in advance,

Hi Pierre!

I believe DDE-based shared variables still work, but I would not recommend DDE at this point in time. Depending on what kind of "talking" you need to do, I think you should look at memory-mapped files (⎕MAP) or CONGA to send TCP messages between APL processes.

Depending on your application architecture you could also use isolates; if one process starts an isolate it appears as a namespace in the parent process, and you can optionally set things up so the isolate can refer to the parent workspace as ##.

Thanks Morten, this is answering my question.
