A quick and dirty version might be to put the fd (s?) in a global variable,
create the process and guard all access to the file descriptor(s?) in both
processes with BeginCriticalSection() and EndCriticalSection().
I once wrote a serial communication library with one instance of a C++
class controlling, and two processses reading or writing the ports. It
worked quite well with the CriticalSection class guarding all access to
the class.
