i think you guys will be best to judge if i explain my application: I have
to run pd+gridflow and then run the program multiblob-for-gridflow. then
take the data(centres of the crosses obtained, extent of blob and other
data) to a java application(whose purpose is to collect this data from pd .)
The java app is on teh same machine, so how do i use [netsend]?

thnks for your time,
Sisil.
