Re: inter-program communication

Sockets would probably be the simplest solution, but another option would be to create a .DLL that mediated communication between two or more programs. Yet another solution is to dispatch messages from one program to another; these will be received and processed in the main message loop. I'm not sure how viable this is for managed code, though it's certainly possible.
