Has anyone tried using cygwin? My guess is that this would work there.
(URL Escapes me but I could find it if there's interest)
For those that don't know, cygwin is a GNU environment built to run in =
MS.
They've got everything from gawk to XFree86 to Gnome. (useable under =
most
flavors of windows) I'm sure mkfifo is there.. if netcat isn't, I could
give an example that works using rsh. (or ssh)

not used is extremely reliable, because it doesn't make any problems.
Please, note that I'm not biased. I don't care what OS I am working on,
as long as it looks and smells like Unix.
