Running FTP's PC/TCP for OS/2, is there a way to create a networked named pipe? If I run the netbios emulation, does that help me at all?

Shoot me for a newbie idiot, but what the hell is a named pipe, anyway? I read the Novell manual, and it describes how to set them up, but never tells you what bloody good they do. Why use them? What are they? What do they taste like? Are they better with ketchup? I don't get it. Steve Kellmeyer -- Steve Kellmeyer kellmeye@ux1.cso.uiuc.edu

Named pipes are essentially FIFO queues for interprocess communications.

Named pipe is introduced into DOS and OS/2 in Lan manager 1.0. It is simply
a first in first out queue with name. Your server program creates a
named pipe (of course, you need to name it) and waiting for thing from
other end. And then your client program can open it (instead of
open("filename"), it is open("\\pipe\pipename")). Then your server and
client program can talk to each other!!! with simple read() and write().
Details can be obtained from OS/2 programmer's reference.
