I do agree that Windows is garbage, but if you consider QEMU an entry-level tool to ease migration to more robust platforms, then it becomes interesting to actively support 'Doze. > Hmm - SFU?

Posix is supported as a subsystem in 2k, but in XP M$ stripped it out. One would have to download the Interix subsystem (SFU), which is farily large. Hardly an option to push onto users if forking is much simpler. > Modulo the above proviso? Is there the ability to create "proper" pipes between > processes on NT from native win32 code? Yes, there is, from native win32 *code*. Not by userland tools (which kills the 'mkfifo' approach). At least I haven't stumbled upon one that does exactly this. 3rd party included. -- "A year spent in artificial intelligence is enough to make one believe in God" Alan J. Perlis
