A semaphore plus WaitForSingleObject would probably do the job.  There 
may be easier ways.

As Christof suggests elsewhere, one could use CreatePipe et al - though 
this does restrict you to either

a) WinNT-based OSes, or
b) Only communicating between parent and child processes

..since 95/98/ME don't support named pipes.  If you wanted to do async 
stuff, you'd probably also end up using a semaphore or using the dreaded 
overlapped I/O stuff.
