Hi,
 I've got two computers networked together in win95. I decided to make a
program to chat between the computers. So I read the win32 sdk and
thought, gee, pipes look good. So I did that for two hours wondering why
it wouldn't work. Found out it's cause pipes are only in nt, not 95. So,
I have to use mailslots. So I did that. Fine it works. Sorta. Let's name
the two computers. Say 486 and 686 since that's what they are. Now, I
send a message from 486 to a mailslot on 686 and here's the problem. 686
gets the message, but it gets it twice. 486 only sends it once. But 686
gets it twice for some reason. So my questions are :
        1. Why does it get it twice?
        2. Will it _always_ get it twice?
        3. If the answer to 2 is no, then how do I fix it?
Thanks for any help/pointers/references/suggestions etc.
Danial.
