28 /*
29 * Mini-DDE implementation
30
31 Most transactions involve a topic name and an item name (choose these
32 as befits your application).
33
34 A client can:
35
36 - ask the server to execute commands (data) associated with a topic
37 - request data from server by topic and item
38 - poke data into the server
39 - ask the server to start an advice loop on topic/item
40 - ask the server to stop an advice loop
41
42 A server can:
43
44 - respond to execute, request, poke and advice start/stop
45 - send advise data to client
46
47 Note that this limits the server in the ways it can send data to the
48 client, i.e. it can't send unsolicited information.
