I have a situation where an LC standalone (built on recent LC releases) need to communicate with a "helper app" standalone, built under LC4.6.4. The why is not really import, but it is to migrate some data that is highly dependent on how 464 handles text field character positions to versions of LiveCode that are above LC5.5.x where the position ranges change due to changes (bug fixes and improvements) to the field object.
I am using IPC vs Sockets because under both Windows and OSX (the target platforms) if the user has their firewall security set high enough, using sockets causes a dialog to appear requiring the user to allow the connection. IPC under Windows (7 through 10) works great. Reliable and consistent. However, I am having problems with the same code under OSX. Has anyone worked out using Interprocess communication reliably between two LiveCode stacks/standalones under OSX that they would share or license for small money? Rather than pick apart our Windows code for what has to be different for OSX, I'd rather just jump to something that works under OSX if such code exists. _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
