Being a relatively new to mozart, I have some ideas about (1).
Guru's may have better way.
(a) more involved but more general (and perhaps a bit overkilled for your
case)
P2PS --> one can send message between server and client(s).
e.g. your server can wait for file_ready message from
your client before opening that file.
(b) using logic variable.
Client-side
define a variable File_ready
proc {Create_info_txt Args} {processes..} File_ready=unit end
then, make a ticket for File_ready
{Pickle.save File_ready ticket_file}
Server-side
read-in the File_ready reference from the ticket file
then your code can {Wait File_ready} before proceeding.
(c) If the Server has to wait,
how about checking if the file exists,
if not wait...
------------------------------
As for (2), I have not tried the following myself. Just a thought that
flashes across my mind now.
Create a functor on the Client side.
In the functor, create your local file accessing proc.
Make this functor available at remote site by first creating a tickefile.
On the remote-site,
read-in the functor reference from the tickfile.
