The program 'mathpipe' is intended to be used with the StartProcess
function in Mathematica to allow communication with a simultaneously
running process on a remote machine (on the Internet).

Mathpipe runs on the same machine as Mathematica, and it attempts to
connect to an instance of the elbow daemon (program 'elbowd' in the
'remotepipe' directory) running on the remote machine.  The remote
machine is specified by the value of the environment variable
ELBOWSERVER, which must be set on the Mathematica machine before
Mathematica is started.

Mathpipe assumes that the elbow daemon is listening on a specific port
number of the remote host (current this is port number 1115, defined
in the file bothpipe.h in the bothpipe dir).  To use an alternate
port, set the environment variable ELBOWPORT to that port number
before starting Mathematica.

This directory contains a slightly modified version of the file
'mathlink.c' which is distributed with Mathematica.
