Lab Session 5: VDM Interprocess Communications

The objective of this lab is to show that an OS/2 session can exchange data with a DOS session in the same system.

In this exercise, you are required to start an OS/2 application program that first creates a number of "named pipes". The OS/2 application then waits for a DOS BASIC program to connect to the pipe. This connection is performed by one thread. Afterward, the main OS/2 program sends data to change the screen colors of various (connected) DOS BASIC programs.
