in reply to Interfacing unix with windows

you might want to be more specific... do you mean control the apps concurrently or one after the other? or just control them both in general. I'm not sure where to start because I don't quite understand what you mean. I'm not trying to be critical at all.. I just think supplying more info leads to a better response. Hope you can figure out what you mean exactly.

    I need to control them concurrently, and provide some interface where the results from one program can drive the input to the other program. I ask program A to do something, it gives me an answer; based on that answer, my Perl program decides what to tell program B to do. There will probably need to be some sharing of data between the two applications, but I think that can be accomplished through our Samba mount.
