Hallo Doug!

reply to a message from Doug Glenn to Ruud Senden:

 RS>> is no command or status information on a pipe, the DosRead()-call
 RS>> blocks until something is written to the pipe.

 DG>     In looking under remarks on DosRead, I see there is a call
 DG>     DosPeekNPipe that you can use to determine if there is something    
 DG> there to read before issuing the DosRead function.

DosPeekNPipe works only - as the name suggests - with named pipes.

bye,
   Christian!
