- The following is from the command "PIPES" with no arguments.
-
- This is a programming tool for PM programmers. It allows you to redirect
- stdout from your PM app to another instance of PIPES to be immediately
- displayed.
-
- Unfortunately, I cannot place it on hobbes, since I haven't paid my money
- to access FTP. So, if some kind soul will do it for me, I will gladly
- uuencode the program and mail it to you. Please send me email if you are
- willing, and I will send it to the first person ONLY. Others will be
- directed to the appropriate directory on hobbes.
-
- Cheers,

-
- P.S. Now that I have my modem working at home, I plan to upload a LOT
- of stuff that I have written on Monday, including a subroutine library
- with lots of neat goodies in it. Don't touch that dial!!

- Syntax: PIPES -p pipe [-w|-r] [-t timeout]

- form "\PIPE\name" and must be unique between a server/client pair.
