I have several scripts that use named pipes for the purpose of processing sound files. I use them on both linux and cygwin. After the switch to cygwin1.7 I converted most of them to the use of tempfiles. Nevertheless, when encountering old scripts in my archives or when trying to create efficient new scripts I find myself wishing named pipes still worked; they are one of the more powerful unix-ish paradigms.
What's the status/priority of getting named pipes to work in 1.7? And, just for curiosity's sake, what was the fundamental change in 1.7 that caused them to stop working? -- They worked great in 1.5. Cygwin is a great tool, and I'm constantly grateful for it's existence. regards, NT -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
