Question:
If I have in a shell
type < PIPE:aa > speak:
and in *another* shell
myprogram > PIPE:aa
are there any "control" codes that "myprogram" can send to the named
pipe to force immediate output to "speak:" *without* breaking the connection?
Is PIPE: documented anywhere other than in the 1.3 Enhancer Manual?
Please reply by email to: hammond@leah.albany.edu . I do not always
have the time to read here. Thanks.

Make sure that "myprogram" flushes its output to the pipe. The PIPE: device responds to each read packet by returning whatever is currently "in the pipe" (or less for small reads). rsbx > William F.
