Is it possible (in sh or in csh) to execute a program that is read from stdin? For example, if the program ``myprog'' is in compressed format, it isn't nice to type uncompress myprog.Z ; myprog params_of_myprog ; compress myprog Rather, it would be nice to be able to write something like zcat myprog.Z | execute_stdin params_of_myprog or `zcat myprog.Z` params_of_myprog or ??? Any ideas? Thanks in advance -- Georg Wittig GMD-Z1.IT | wittig@gmdzi.gmd.de | "Freedom's just another word P.O.
