The following is from the command "PIPES" with no arguments.

This is a programming tool for PM programmers.  It allows you to redirect
stdout from your PM app to another instance of PIPES to be immediately
displayed.

Unfortunately, I cannot place it on hobbes, since I haven't paid my money
to access FTP.  So, if some kind soul will do it for me, I will gladly
uuencode the program and mail it to you.  Please send me email if you are
willing, and I will send it to the first person ONLY.  Others will be
directed to the appropriate directory on hobbes.

Cheers,
Q

P.S.  Now that I have my modem working at home, I plan to upload a LOT
of stuff that I have written on Monday, including a subroutine library
with lots of neat goodies in it.  Don't touch that dial!!

Pipe utility
Version 1.00
Copyright (c) 1992 by Larry Salomon, Jr.
All rights reserved.

Reads all input from or writes all input to the specified named pipe.

Syntax:  PIPES -p pipe [-w|-r] [-t timeout]

-p      - specifies the pipe to read from or write to.  It must be in the
          form "\PIPE\name" and must be unique between a server/client pair.
          This parameter is required

-w,-r   - specifies whether the pipe is to be read from or written to.  Write
          is the default.

-t      - (in read mode) this specifies the number of seconds to wait before
          attempting to read from the specified pipe.  This allows you to
          start the client before the server without receiving an error.  0
          indicates that no wait should occur, and is the default.

-t      - (in write mode) this specifies the number of seconds to wait for
          a connect to be established with a client.  0 indicates that the
          server should wait forever.  The default is 10 seconds.
