This design is mentioned alot. I understand it, and it would probobly be best solution. Does anybody have a simple two-bin C app that communicates over a pipe that functions for this purpose? I suppose I could pull out my richard stevens AUP... I see this recommended alot. So somebody had to actualy sat down and do this at some point. Care to share?
