| I just noticed that netpipes doesn't support bidirectional pipes. |
| So I made my own version. |
| Now I can say in computer A that "plis 12345 -io ohjelma" and in computer B |
| that "pcon A 12345 -io ohjelma2", and they communicate together then. |
| My example utilization was that I can send the picture of SNES-emulator to |
| another computer via network, and grab the keyboard input there, so get two |
| consoles to the same game. |
| My friend wanted to watch when I play FF6, but didn't want to sit next to my |
| monitor, and asked if he could get the picture to his monitor. |
| And he got it. |
| Then he asked if he could play it from his computer at the same time as me... |
| And now it works too. |
| Other ways of use can everybody invent theirselves. |
| It's really easy to make simple server software with this. |
| For example, do "plis 79 -io finger" and then you have a finger-service. |
| Or "plis 5555 -o 'cat signature'" and then port 5555 gives your signature. |
