new IPC on NT

[Philippe Chapuy <pchapuy%cgsmail at capgemini dot fr>]

Hi,

For my project, I needed a IPC UNIX layer, so, as there is no such things in
b18, I wrote one.

if you're interested in, I attach the tar sources.

once compile, you'll have 5 commands:

ipcd : start the ipc daemon manager
ipcrm : like UNIX ipcrm
ipcs : like UNIX ipcs
ipck : shell script to kill all ipc
montest : little test program

and a library:

Ipc.a

which has "almost" all the UNIX features.

NB/ Don't forget to include "IpcNtExt.h" in yout source file to use the library.

I wrote this library from LINUX KERNEL sources. Many thank's to Krishna
Balasubramanian....

So, if you use it and point out some bugs (there are certainly a lot) and fix
them, i am interested in knowing them.

Enjoy.

All the best,

Phil.

PS/ In case of bugs in the library, you have to kill the blocked processes with
the task manager.
The ipc daemon "ipcd" must also be killed for the moment with the task manager.
