Using "Named Pipes"


It should be possible to use Named Pipes as input or output device for 
OS/2 commands, for example: 

 
                     /* create a Named pipe called "\PIPE\MYPIPE"     */
                     /* with on of the functions from                 */
                     /* RxNPipe - Named Pipes for REXX                */
                     /* RexxIPC - interprocess communication for REXX */
                     /* RXU - powerful DLL for REXX                   */

          /* now call for example the cmd to use that pipe for STDIN  */
  "start /c cmd <\PIPE\MYPIPE"

          /* now you could write the commands for the cmd to execute  */
          /* to the pipe \PIPE\MYPIPE                                 */


But until now I did not manage to implement a working solution using Named 
Pipes for this purpose.
