I would like to get blitzmax to talk to another program (actualy a 'c' program handeling comms inputs) has anyone as suggestions. It just has to pass a few variables back and forward.

Depends on your level of coding, shared memory via a DLL is an option, networking is another. If speed is not option, then a shared file. If both are not being run at once, then command line params is another.

Do you know you can compile C directly into your blitzmax executable? I'm not strong on the details but there are plenty of examples around.

Remember there are also ways to do it directly in BMax.
