Interprocess communication overview
A client object represents the client side of a DDE conversation.
To delete a client object, use object-delete.
client-create
client-make-connection
long ( client-create)
Creates a client object, returning the integer id of the object if successful. No event handlers need be defined for a client object.
A connection is not made until client-make-connection is called.
long ( client-make-connection long id string host string service string topic)
Makes a connection to a server, returning the id of the connection if successful.
id is the client id returned from client-create.
host is ignored under Windows, and should contain a valid internet host name under X.
service is a DDE service identifier (under X should contain a socket identifier).
topic is a topic name for this connection.
Any connection event handlers should be defined by the application code after this function is called, assuming the return result is not zero.
