I would like to get blitzmax to talk to another program (actualy a 'c' program handeling comms inputs) has anyone as suggestions. It just has to pass a few variables back and forward.

Depends on your level of coding, shared memory via a DLL is an option, networking is another. If speed is not option, then a shared file. If both are not being run at once, then command line params is another.

Do you know you can compile C directly into your blitzmax executable? I'm not strong on the details but there are plenty of examples around. Last edited 2011

Remember there are also ways to do it directly in BMax.
