>Is it possible (in sh or in csh) to execute a program that is read from >stdin? It's possible, although the ways you can do it depend on whether the "program" is an executable image or a script. If it's a script, you can try piping it to the interpreter (shell or whatever). If it's an executable image, in most UNIXes you must either put it into a file, or construct some program that reads its standard input and sets up its address space to contain the executable image it's reading and then jumps to it.
