This is sort of an extension to the "pipe" idea, except that the program generating th eoutput really thinks that it is a pipe. I think that the Berkeley sockets or multiplexed files might implement something like this. Can someone tell me how this can be done? I am running 4.2bsd on a VAX and a CADLINC 68000. -- Ken Turkowski @ CADLINC, Menlo Park, CA UUCP: {amd,decwrl,hplabs,seismo,spar}!turtlevax!ken ARPA: turtlevax!ken@DECWRL.ARPA
