This is definitely ok, but it was too much hassle for me to get into (since my tool was separate, already available code in pure C).

Yes, I realize that there are cases where you wan't to keep the tool Foundation / Cocoa-free - and where it won't work because of that.

Another approach would be to use NSDistributedNotificationCenter, which works fine in CF, too. However, these messages can be generated and eavesdropped by every process on the machine, so it's not really secure.

I've also assumed that my use of DO, without any attempts to verify the sender / reciever might make it succeptible to "hijacking" (sp?) from some other malicious piece of code - but for now I pretend that possibility doesn't exist... ;)

Thanx for the info!
