Abstract:
1. A method for transferring synchronized data from a remote computer to a local computer over a network connecting the local and remote computers, the method comprising: generating the synchronized data with a 16-bit process of at least one operating system running on the remote computer; storing the synchronized data with the 16-bit process; retrieving the synchronized data with a first 32-bit process of at least one operating system running on the remote computer; locking a semaphore, at least partly in response to the 16-bit process until at least after the synchronized data is retrieved with the first 32-bit process at least partly with a shared memory buffer coupled to the remote computer accessible to at least the 16-bit and first 32-bit processes; and transmitting the synchronized data with a second 32-bit process of at least one operating system over the network to the local computer.
