If you now do a fork(), exec() call, then you can have a second program
that inherits this pipe from the parent.  Instead of an anonymous pipe, you
might want to use a named pipe instead.  For a good explanation of
anonymous pipes, pick up "Advance Unix Programming" by Marc J.
Rochkind which will give some good UNIX examples which port to EMX quite
well.
