32 /*
33 * Mini-DDE implementation
34
35 Most transactions involve a topic name and an item name (choose these
36 as befits your application).
37
38 A client can:
39
40 - ask the server to execute commands (data) associated with a topic
41 - request data from server by topic and item
42 - poke data into the server
43 - ask the server to start an advice loop on topic/item
44 - ask the server to stop an advice loop
45
46 A server can:
47
48 - respond to execute, request, poke and advice start/stop
49 - send advise data to client
50
51 Note that this limits the server in the ways it can send data to the
52 client, i.e. it can't send unsolicited information.
