Hello all, 
I'm working on multiple platforms using pthreads and deciding on 
a message transfer mechanism for each platforms internal transfers
 - either posix message queues or unix IPC. 

Can someone tell me the main differences between Posix Message Queues and
Unix IPC message transfers using msgget(), msgsnd(), msgrcv() ?

Also, does Linux 2.x support posix message queues ?  I cant seem to find mq_open, 
mq_send, etc.. on my Linux 2.4 box.  Is this a Linux add-on I need to download off the net?

Thanks, 
Phil
