[comp.sys.nsc.32k] pipes take 2

sverre@lev.Seri.GOV (Sverre Froyen) (03/05/91)

As suggested by Jyrki, I increased the PIPE_SIZE by a factor
of eight.  This did not, however, resolve my problems.
Could someone run the script below and verify my observations.

--Sverre

# Works
(grep LDBL_MAX_10_EXP /usr/include/float.h; echo "-LDBL_MAX_10_EXP" ) > ppp
cat ppp | /usr/lib/gcc-cpp 

# Does not work
(grep LDBL_MAX_10_EXP /usr/include/float.h; echo "-LDBL_MAX_10_EXP" ) \
| /usr/lib/gcc-cpp
