NPserver: Named Pipe Client/Server Demonstration

Click to open or copy the NPserver project files.

Npclient and Npserver demonstrate the use of named pipes. The basic design consists of a server application serving multiple client applications. The user can use the client applications as an interface to all of the other client applications via the server. The effect is a simple communication program that can be used over the network between multiple clients.
