You would think that you could write to /dev/$PID/fd/0 and have that be the
input into bash, but you can't. ttys are wierd.
Xterm uses the Unix 98 pseudo terminal interface to talk to its child
process using a /dev/pts/something device file. It calls open("/dev/ptmx")
which is the single Unix 98 p
I was wondering if I could get this down to just a few lines of code
then realized that the shell should be able to handle this. Turns out
it works okay.
In terminal a:
$ while /bin/true; do echo date; sleep 1; done | nc localhost
In terminal b I run:
( nc -d -l & cat) | bash

This tool looks promising also, but I haven't tried it:

I think you'd need to use some Windows API to do this there.

I ended up finding what I was looking for by searching for Blueprint
scanners. I found at least a couple of companies that make 24", 36" and
42" scanners. They're all sheetfed style some of which remain flat the
whole time.
If people are interested I'll go back to my notes and post some links.

Here's what I'd like to do. I'm running code, in this case Python, in
xterm A (replace by your favorite terminal emulator), and want that code
to write to xterm B, just as if I had typed directly into xterm B.
Say for example I want to run the ls command in xterm B, but do so via
some action in
