I guess you start by reading up on threads and pipes.  I think the way
you create pipes is with CreatePipe.  Threads, of course, are a huge
subject.  

Documentation on CreatePipe and other functions can be found at
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.htm .

You'll have to use MSIE, though, because Embrace and Extend is alive
and well in the world of Java. 

CreatePipe is under "Platform SDK > Base Services > Interprocess
Communication > Pipes" and the threading stuff us also under Base
Services, under "DLLs, Processes, and Threads"
