I actually have a C program which allowed VMS users to do things like
redirection to/from files and do piping (it handled the mailbox setups
for you).  However, this brings up another problem with this scenario:
the standard VMS programs don't seem to be written with pipelining in mind.
They're not careful to use the stdin and stdout type models.  As a
result, the program I used for pipelines only had limited
functionality.
             Peace,
