INTERP mgmt and loading libraries like DLLs

[johnlopez2000]

Colleagues,

I have a number of library and service libraries that I use for given programs that I run on an eMatrix ePLM database system. I can cause a program to become persistent at runtime by making it "pooled", which in the background actually spawns a persistent interpreter (you can see this in TCL Pro). It effectively is an independent thread in it's own interpreter.

What I need to do is to open a 2nd independent interpreter with a TCL program and "see" the PROCs defined in the first standing interpreter, much like when you load a DLL into memory, and all subsequent applications that use it access the common code.

It there a way to do this?

Thanks for your help.

The only way I see to do that if for the resident server to open a server socket and wait for client calls.
This implies that the resident server is structured as a socket server.
The first tcl command needed is... socket.
And you can dig on some examples on the Tcler's wiki.
