Again, In reference to this post of mine deep in a Projects thread, I thought that this question would be better asked here.

What is the best way to communciate between processes? I was going to start out using named pipes, but reading a bit more, message queueing seems nice too, although with more code. I really only need to have one-way communcation, so fifo's would be all I need, but from a style aspect, should I go ahead and learn how to use message queues?
