"Share data with external processes" [message #7762]

Hello,

Does anyone know of a fast way to transfer a large array (say
fltarr(2000)) from another process? My first thought was to write the
data to a file, and then read it back into IDL. But time is of
a critical nature in this case. Then I found CALL_EXTERNAL, but it
seems to only return a scalar (Is that true?). LINKIMAGE now looks
like the way to go. Has anyone had any luck using LINKIMAGE to pass
around arrays like this? What _is_ the best way to "share data with
external processes"? (I put that in quotes because it's in the RSI
advertisement for IDL. :-))

Thanks,

Ken
