What is the best way to send data between a program running on QNX and a
program running on Win98. The two machines are networked?

On the QNX machine, run the command
inetd
as root. Then you should be able to FTP to the QNX machine from your
Win98 box.

You could share your QNX disk using SAMBA and it would show up in the
Win98 network neighbourhood, but that’s a lot more work to set up.

Cheers,

TCP/IP. One program open a socket in another program and send
data to it.

www.cogent.ca has a product that simplify this.

If you mean QNX6 … install PVM on both systems. PVM builds a
single virtual machine. The PVM API contains a lot of message
passing calls (send, receive a.s.o.)

PVM for QNX6

Have also a look to Pyro (distributed objects for Python … )

(Just to add to the confusion…)

I believe you can run ckermit on top of telnet. See:

http://www.columbia.edu/kermit

for details.

I thought QNX had a NFS compatible file system. Can we not use that
functionaility for networking and passing files between systems?

I know, this is not an answer to the question but another (related)
question.
