[Info-vax] Porting logical name applications to Unix

[Paul Raulerson]

It depends of course, though config files are very common. You can  
write applications that are much more sophisticated of course.
Our work applications for instance, use shred memory to pass  
parameters, parameter lists, and return values between "main" programs.
Of course, if the programs are composite linked, or reside in shared  
libraries, then you can just use memory pointers.

Environment variables are also very common, though you can only pass  
strings in them.
