Not without adopting some specific inter-process mechanism such as a 
network socket. The idea is that processes are *intended* to provide 
protection boundaries around separate activities.

Maybe what you need is threads, which can easily access each other's 
resources. They do need careful control, though, precisely because they 
share a single process's address space and protection boundary.
