Tucker Withington) Distribution: net Organization: Encore Computer Corp., Wellesley Hills, MA Lines: 11 My sysV manual talks about opening a FIFO, but I can't seem to find how I might create one. Admittedly, I don't have an r2 manual. I remember a v7 add-on (from Rand, I think, or BBN) that provided for such a beast, but I've never seen it in a Kosher version. Is the provision in open wishful thinking or do these things exists now? P.S. My 4.2 manual says I can't open a socket *yet*; does this imply that someday I will be able to? o.o --tucker ~
