Help. I obtained a copy of Matthew Dillon's PD PIPE program, and I am having problems installing it. I editted my mountlist as the example shows. I moved the "pipe.device" file into the devs: directory (and changed the path in the mountlist to reflect this). I mounted pipe: and it shows up on the list of devices for "assign". When I try to use it, however, it doesn't work. As a test, I tried: dir > pipe:foo This returns the error message: CLIerror: unable to open redirection file Now it is finding something, because otherwise I would get a requestor telling me to insert volumne pipe: . My guess is that for some reason the system can't load the pipe.device file. I therefore tried to compile it, and I wound up with two errors: One was that it couldn't open the libraries/filehandler.h file and the other was that it didn't know a field from the DeviceNode record. I am running 1.2, but I unfortunately do not have the updated include files (yet). Does anyone have any idea what is going on, or how I can fix it? I should ask Matthew Dillon himself, but I do not know his net address (or even if he is on the net). Does anyone know of any other public domain pipes? Jim Guilford (guilford@csv.rpi.edu)
