At work we do our work from two different locations. One part is on HP's and another is on our development station. On the development station we used to have another card that ran unix on its backplane, and it gave us easy access to the memory. However now, we dont have that access so we have been porting over our gui's (written in tcl/tk with embedded C) to a client server relationship to manipulate the memory on the development station. We have a lot of structs used in the C code for the guis and were trying to use perl to send the correct info to the server for read and write operations. Is there a way that I can use inline to load our old C and tie the C variables so they communicate read and write to the server? How can I do tie a C variable like how perl does?
