[Daniel Swe]

Thanks, all of you! I wlll be using sockets. I don't look forward to the message pump though ( needs alot of if's or switches).

But later when I get home I would like a opengl window so I write ./test -opengl , and the same instance of the program that was used for the console would pop up with all the bells and whistles for opengl. The problem is that I don't really know how to do it. Should I make a daemon that guis connect to? Is there any way to find the pid and communicate with the instance using tango? Or is there another more clever way? I'm currently using gdc and Tango in Ubuntu.
