- I know that local named pipes (\pipe\pipename) work fine under OS/2
- 2.0, and if Microsoft wants I can send them some source code and the
- GNU C++ compiler.

- That would make the programming a lot simpler, because you wouldn't

- since the local DOS boxes don't know about the server pipes (yet), the
- applications cannot be run locally. This is supposed to be fixed in a
- future version of OS/2.
