Hi,
Is it possible to fork an instance of a Pop11 program
as a child process of a C program ?
What I wish to do is shown here
http://www.linuxjournal.com/article.php?sid=44
but he is using Tk instead of rclib.
The idea is to fork an instance of a rclib control panel
as a child process of the C program and talk to rclib via
two pipes. You send Pop11 commands down the pipe to rclib,
which executes them ( by drawing the graphics etc.). You
also have rclib print strings to its standard ouput in
response to events ( like clicking on a button in the rclib
control panel) - the C program can recieve these strings
from the read pipe and act upon them.
I am also looking at Propsheets and Motif for this but
don't claim to be sure of what I am about. It is mainly a
learning exercise.
Thanks for any help,
John Duncan
