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!!

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

start the client before the server without receiving an error. 0

a connect to be established with a client. 0 indicates that the
