Hi,
  I want to implement a chat server using the IPC in unix. I am
planning to establish the one to one communication using FIFO. I want
to incorporate other features like broadcasting and conferencing too.
I am not sure this can be done with IPCs.

I have the alternative of doing this with sockets by using the
broadcasting feature and mulitcasting and group formation for the
conferencing part. But I would like to know if I need to go for
sockets as I am doing this entirely in a single host and whether this
can be done with IPC's alone.

Any pointers in this direction would be appreciable.
