For those of you who are following it, this design is similar to the actor framework, but is more efficient for file I/O (fewer data copies).

Now just playing along...

As i understand it an Actor Framework is a design pattern whre Active Object are instaciated and used. An Active Object is a fancy term for a "background process" or Daemon that offers methods by which other classes can interact with it.

That about sums it up, Ben.  The actor framework I linked to is a LabVIEW implementation of this idea that does not inherently depend on globally available data (i.e., no DVRs, globals, or action engines needed).  My file I/O framework will be similar.
