Hi Sergei,

Thanks a lot for your suggestion.

Do you have a practical experience with using named pipes for this? I 
would love to avoid the blocking that pipes bring. If the reader fails, 
the writer will get stuck once the pipe fills up. If the writer writes 
two variables into the pipe, can the reader recover both of them 
sequentially? That would be quite easy to do with octave-zeromq which 
delivers each message payload individually, but there is no file to 
'load' from...

Or maybe I am missing something important.

Anyway I very much appreciate your help.

Best regards,

Pavel.
