There is one feature that you should be aware of (I don't know if this also
occurs in *N*X pipes):

    gets() is implemented usually as `Read(Stdin(), sptr, 256L)'
    CON: and, I suspect the ConMan pip: will return when a `newline'
    is encountered. PIPE: *will not*. This irrelevent for stored files.
    But if you use the 1.3 PIPE:, and expect the spawned process to get
    its input as you shove it down the line, you have to pad it at the end.
