Some help please?

Hello,

I posted about a week ago asking for an idea, the post was a bit too vague and i didnt really explain myself all too well so im gonna try again.

Basically i need to create a very simple program that 'Simulates' One of the aspects of Distribution Systems. The aspect i think im going to choose is distributed systems simplest form ' the Client/Server ' model.

The program i would like to create either in VB.NET or Unix Scripting as im famliar with both.

The program also does not need to involve more than one system, what i mean is instead of actually communicating with another system on the network i could just use for example 2 forms (in vb) with one form updating information on the other or 2 consoles (in unix) doing the same thing.

Does anyone have any ideas and or tips, links or videos that might help me.

Thanks alot

when you say you want to pass info between 2 forms, do you mean that one form would be on the server & the other on client? or 2 forms running on the same machine?

the same machine.

Here's a thread on passing things between forms:

But I suspect that is not what you are really interested in. It sounds like you want to simulate certain behavior, and the items I have in that thread are probably not at all what you want. It sounds like you might be more interested in doing something using threads where data is passed to a thread that passes is to a thread managed by a different form. That would be a bit weird, but simulations often are.
