shared memory block

[Boris Huart]

Well I am using a real-time system and I only have a Python library to get
about 20 floats calculated on the platform. Then I have implemented a Java
applet which needs those data to interact via an External Aauthoring
Interface with a VRML plugin embedded in IE. My problem is how to make the
python script and the java applet communicate together.
