Hi!
The trouble with Cocoa is not getting things done -- thats fairly
simple -- but doing things the right way. Therefore I have a
question.
I write a kernel-frontend application, i.e. there may be several
different kernels running on the machine, and each of them may have
one or more frontends attached to it. While the kernel is a
command-line Unix-app, that can be launched several times, the
frontend should be a multi-doc Aqua-app, where each instance of the
Doc-class is one frontend.
The question is: Which kind of communication is best? I tried with
pipes, but that causes some problems. One really cool thing about
DOs is the possibiliy to have the kernel running on a different
machine -- if that is possible, it would be great.
So which classes are the ones I should use to build the
communication, it should be possible for the frontend to find all
running kernels on the machine (and -- possibly -- on the network)
and to connect to one of them (the user chooses one.)
Any help would be appreciated,
Peter
