About: The XPA messaging system provides seamless communication between
many kinds of Unix programs, including X programs and Tcl/Tk  programs.
It also provides an easy way for users to communicate with XPA-enabled
programs by executing XPA client commands in the shell or by utilizing
such commands in scripts. Because XPA works both at the programming level
and the shell level, it is a powerful tool for unifying any analysis environment:
users and programmers have great flexibility in choosing the best level
or levels at which to access XPA services, and client access can
be extended or modified easily at any time.

''[escargo] 17 May 2005'' - Perhaps there ought to be a Category
for interprocess communication.  XPA seems to be for communicating
between processes on the same system, not using protocols to 
communicate across the Internet.

 Summary

 XPA uses standard inet sockets to support communication between two or more host computers.
