- Yes, you can have unix style pipes with the AmigaDOS shell. It seems that
- the hooks are there, but C= never enabled it in the end. What you need to
- do is:
-
- 1) get fish/ff774/ExtraCmds.lha from aminet, and put the pipe command in c:
- 2) add the line
- set _pchar |
- to s:shell-startup, or early in s:user-startup
-
- This works for me under WB 2.1; I don't know if this still works under 3.x.
