Igor,
Lighten up will you. I don't really have any more information. The
mkfifo command is Cygwin does not work. You can't create a named pipe.
I understand that Microsoft provides named pipes to Windows through
its Microsoft Platform SDK. I don't have this kit. I was hoping that
maybe someone did and could comment on the named pipe issue and whether
there might be a way to get them to work under Cygwin.
