I run Gnu/Linux too. What I meant was that Xenix was not like MS-DOS. And the post that I originally responded to made the claim that Microsoft had an operating system that predated MS-DOS and that implemented pipes using temporary files. I don't think Xenix fits that description. -- Tom Marchant ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
