Hi,
   a question OS2 gurus from a friend. In a make file he's used the
following construct

findfiles | prog1 | prog2

Now, the piping operation only returns the status of prog2.  Is there a
way of accessing the return status of the other piped processes? 

At the moment he's having to pass information along through prog1 &
prog2, which is unsatisfactory.

Thanks in anticipation,

Conrad DRake
