- I don't think so. I just tried transferring 31 Mb (the largest file I
- had handy) through two PIPE: pipes. Worked fine, no data loss
- whatsoever. If by "large data files" you mean something bigger than
- that, then I've never tried, so you may be right. But that is, if not
- big, at least not small I think.

- I've never seen the current one lose data. How big of a transfer are
- you talking about, anyway?
