Help! I'm rather confused about just how to use pipes under OS-9
(I mean in my own programs; the shell is quite canonical with
respect to pipes). A clear, learned exposition on their use in
BASIC09 or C code would be much appreciated! (Just to spread
information and perhaps confusion--when I look at mdir, I see
only one device, /pipe, out there. Does one simply open /pipe?
That would seem to be begging for concurrency problems, unless,
as is likely, something I don't understand is going on here.)
