Okay, that one makes sense...
Then, would it make sense to also have:
size = mmap( 0, sizeof(int) * FRAMES, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0));
for(i = 0; i < FRAMES; i++)
framesize[i] = start + i * sizeof(int);
?

Okay, will convert that over...makes for one less point of failure :)

Not quite sure what you mean here...client has:
====
while(ii < FRAMES) {
if((fd = open(framestr, O_RDONLY)) < 0) {
exit(-1);
}
if((video[ii] = mmap(0, FRAMESIZE, PROT_READ, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0)) ==
(caddr_t) -1) {
exit(-1);
}
close(fd);
/* Get Video Stream Buffer */
if((fd = open(framestr, O_RDONLY)) < 0) {
exit(-1);
}
if((vsize[ii] = mmap(0, sizeof(int), PROT_READ, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0)) ==
(caddr_t) -1) {
exit(-1);
}
close(fd);
ii++;
}

I'm using "Advanced Programming in the Unix Environment" by
Stevens as my new "bible", and it states that "MAP_SHARED or MAP_PRIVATE
must be specified"...unfortunately, his only "example" happens to have
two different files MMAP'd, and then he's doing an memcpy() between
them :( Is the above incorrect?

Binary data, so this may be correct, since the "data" that I'm
getting on the opposite end is exactly the same as the data on the server
end...
