Hi Christopher, Thank you for your quick reply. I understand that this code might not ultimately be useful to cygwin. It continues to work in my project, so I'm not put out.
I wonder, though, do you know if it might be useful to Mingw? I.e., might it be worth offering to them, or do you know of a reason why not to bother? Google finds lots of complaints about pipes not being usefully selectable for writing in cygwin. Has that been fixed already?
