Hello,
I was hoping to use mkfifo (4.1 according to mkinfo --version) for something
earlier today in Cygwin (1.5.7-1). I got the following error message:
$ mkfifo test
mkfifo: cannot create fifo ``test'': Function not implemented
Doing some additional research I discovered that this is not yet implemented
in Cygwin, though as of last August there seemed to be some talk of
completing it before the end of last year
(http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2003-08/msg01145.html). It now being
next year, I was wondering if I've done something wrong or if other things
were more important last year. Thanks.
