What LanOS are you running on the WFW machine?? The reason that I ask is that
the symptoms you describe are the same ones that I had encountered when I tried
to use named pipes from a machine running the old IBM PC Lan Program v1.34.

If this is the case, IBM PC LAN program will not work with named pipes.  You'll
have to convert to MS Network via Netbios (this is accomplished in Network
Setup on the WFW machine).

P.S.  If you can't get readpipe to work, then named pipes will not work!!!
