- Probably, but we may not be using the same commands, perhaps? I'm using
- the SKsh commands, and tried this just now:
-
- [5|24|Images]: cp -n VTLogoFrame.IFF pipe:a &
- [5|25|Images]: wc -c pipe:a
- Filename Chars
- pipe:a : 990464
- [5|26|Images]: ll VTLogoFrame.IFF
-
- Directory of "xSYS:usr/Applications/NewTek/Images" on 21-Jan-96 09:47
- ------rwxd 95-Jul-18 00:00:58 1936 990464 VTLogoFrame.IFF
- 1 files - 0 dirs - 0 links - 1936 blocks - 990464 bytes
-
- The size reported by wc on the pipe matches the file size to the byte.
- "cp" sends things in 128 Kb chunks.

- Hmm. Not that I know of, but on the other hand I don't recall
- everything I've ever done to this system (its pretty old), so I suppose
- that's possible.
-
- Oh, hang on a sec. I just tried sending through 4 pipes, like this
- (SKsh uses pipe: by default for pipes, unless you set it otherwise):
-
- [5|28|Images]: cat VTLogoFrame.IFF | cat | cat | cat | wc -c
- Filename Chars
- stdin : 984328
-
- which is short by 6136 bytes. Odd. I guess you're right. It seems to
- be intermittent on my system. When I tried previously with over 10 Mb
- and two pipes, every single byte showed up properly. And sometimes the
- above works too, but sometimes it doesn't.
-
- Well drat! I never knew that.
