DDE - demonstration programsΒΆ

The directory $SCULPTOR/demo/dde contains the following programs which demonstrate the use of DDE:

ddecli.f

Demo client program

ddeserv.f

Demo server program

To run the demo, start the server program first, then the client program:

sagewc ddeserv
sagewc ddecli

The client connects to the server and sends sample requests to execute a command, poke data and get data. The server displays the messages received, and the client issues a prompt after each request before continuing, so that these messages can be read. The client program displays the data returned by the server. It then lists other DDE servers, and can be used to open program groups by sending commands to Program Manager.

The program $SCULPTOR/demo/books/books.f also uses DDE functions, in conjunction with Microsoft Office Excel.
