27 /*
28 * Mini-DDE implementation
29
30 Most transactions involve a topic name and an item name (choose these
31 as befits your application).
32
33 A client can:
34
35 - ask the server to execute commands (data) associated with a topic
36 - request data from server by topic and item
37 - poke data into the server
38 - ask the server to start an advice loop on topic/item
39 - ask the server to stop an advice loop
40
41 A server can:
42
43 - respond to execute, request, poke and advice start/stop
44 - send advise data to client
45
46 Note that this limits the server in the ways it can send data to the
47 client, i.e. it can't send unsolicited information.
