Hi everyone,
As the topic says, I need to share data gathered from one OS with a program running in a different OS in REALTIME.

Why? -- I've got an application that was custom made to run on Linux. This application is a able to gather data on network specifics. On the other hand I've got a piece of hardware (gps receiver) that will only work on Windows 2k. I need to get the data from the Linux application into the protocol in the Win2k system for real time data analysis. Is this at all possible?? If so , how??

Thanks in advance!

Realtime will force you to network the two systems together.

Windows may be able to map the Linux drive into memory.

Otherwise you will have to send it across a wire using some network package.

/edit
Anyway that you have the Linux source and can port it to Windows or find out if a third part can get the GPS supported on Linux
