?As others said, I reckon best way depends on what type of comms is going on.
If its a large amount of structured data a file can make sense. If response times and two way communication is important then you need something event driven, such as socket or TCP. The filewatcher you are using is this Delphi .net or are you using something that is pure Delphi? (I am curious because I want to do the same sort of comms between languages, and not just Windows or .Net) John Bob Look into IPC (interprocess communication) methodologies such as as mail boxes and pipes. Also, of course, there is always sockets.
