Mailslot

Mailslots Mailslots have been around for a long time in Microsoft operating systems. I have heard, but not confirmed, that utilities have existed in MS-DOS to operate on Mailslots. When you send a message via a mailslot, a single packet of data called a “datagram” is transmitted over the network. The delivery of the message is not guaranteed and it is usually not possible to know with any certainty that the message arrived at the destination. So for every important message sent over a mailslot, you must have logic to obtain a reply of some kind to indicate that the message transmitted successfully. If a mailslot message travels only inside a single machine, the Win32 library routines will indicate the successful transfer of message. You can locate any mailslot server on the network This code is well commented. Have Fun. Rodney Godfried
