I'm really a C++ programmer. But I've been tasked with making a change to an Ada application that we have, and would appreciate some help getting started. Please be patient. We want our Ada application, while running, to share a lot of binary information with a different application, this one written in Matlab. Each applicaton will produce output data which will be used by the other application. Both applications will run on Win2K PCs, and they may or may not be on the same computer. Is this possible? What would be the best way to do it? I've tried looking up some information but to be honest, I don't understand the difference between pipes and sockets and Overlapped I/O and whatever else is available, let alone if it is possible to do these things in Ada. All the information I'm finding is either Unix-oriented, or else it assumes a moderate level of knowledge (which I don't have). My Ada compiler is DACS 4.7.15d. TIA
