V!ctor...PIPE: ?

[Antoni Gual]

Is it possible to communicate two FB programs with it?

Could the communication be bidirectional?

Have any example?

CLOSE returns error numbers, so the result of the PIPE can't be checked.

Pipes can be opened for input and output, i tested for input only.

For an example, see examples/file/filepipe.bas.

It's meant to work as a Windows named pipe ?


EDITED: I tried the example, gives an "Insufficient space in the disk" message...
W2000 SP4 , 256Mb Ram, 120Gb HDD here.

Dunno, that's just the M$ C runtime DLL's popen() being called.. works fine in XP.
