I have a simlation program running in real-time under DOS on one PC. The preferred compiler would be the DJGPP.

Now, I need to connect this to a second computer where the scenario is running as fast as possible under Windows98. Everything has been compiled under CYGWIN environment.

The connection should be 2-way, i.e. I need to send some data to the scenario and also few varibles back to the real-time PC.

Which will be the best solution?

Thanks in advance.

 

Sounds like VISUAL BASIC or C++ was design just
for this type of situation. They consist of
"event handlers" that wait for events to respond
to. If prefer VB 6.0, myself. (I think you must
buy the Professional version, to get access to the serial ports, though.)
