/*
 * Mini-DDE implementation

   Most transactions involve a topic name and an item name (choose these
   as befits your application).

   A client can:

   - ask the server to execute commands (data) associated with a topic
   - request data from server by topic and item
   - poke data into the server
   - ask the server to start an advice loop on topic/item
   - ask the server to stop an advice loop

   A server can:

   - respond to execute, request, poke and advice start/stop
   - send advise data to client

   Note that this limits the server in the ways it can send data to the
   client, i.e. it can't send unsolicited information.
