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