I posted this before on the mailing list but thought I'd post it here
on Yahoo as well.
The Nitros9 distribution has the following directory:
/dd/nitros9/6309l2/modules/pipe
and in that directory is pipeman_named.mn
I'm assuming this allows the use of named pipes under Nitros9. How
are the pipes used? I can't find any documentation on it. Others
have told me that this was originally from Burke & Burke.
I check the OS9/68000 docs and named pipes can be created by simply
doing the following:
dir -e >/pipe/BOB
Now I've done this, and I get no errors when I do it. However, I
don't know how to get the info back out of the pipe. The OS9/68000
docs also state that DIR /PIPE will report the named pipes currently
in use. That does not work under Nitros9.
a DIR /PIPE produces an ERROR #203 - Illegal Mode.
