I know the 1.3.2 PIPE: device overflows if asked to preform something like downloading a 10k+ plus file to pipe: as one "lharc x pipe:"'s but does the dpipe: device on dnet have this problem? Proff

What *exactly* do you mean by "overflows"? If you mean that your command seems to hang when you type it, it means that the pipe: internal buffer is full. This buffer is 4k long (it says so in the 1.3 docs). Try the following: 1> newcli 1> copy fubar.lzh pipe:l.lzh [ swap window ] 2> lharc x pipe:l Disclamier: I have not tried this but it should work. The problem may be that lharc expects a .lzh suffix?
