 Ed, 
 You can duplicate the handle for stdin to accept i/o from a pipe like this:

/* server.c */
#define INCL_DOS
#include 
#include 

#define		PIPESIZE	4096
#define		OBJBUFLEN	100

int	main(USHORT argc, PCHAR argv[], PCHAR envp[]) {

	HFILE		MyIn=0,	SaveMyIn=-1, PipeRead, PipeWrite;
	char		ObjNameBuf[OBJBUFLEN], buf[PIPESIZE];
	ULONG		ExecFlags=EXEC_ASYNC, byteswritten=0, bytesread=0;
	RESULTCODES	clientrc;

		/* initialize buffer to 0's */
	memset(&buf,'\0',PIPESIZE);		

		/* save handle to stdin */
	DosDupHandle(MyIn,&SaveMyIn);		

		/* replace stdin with pipe */
	DosCreatePipe(&PipeRead,&PipeWrite,PIPESIZE);
	DosDupHandle(PipeRead,&MyIn);		

		/* launch client program */
	DosExecPgm(ObjNameBuf,OBJBUFLEN,ExecFlags,NULL,
						NULL,&clientrc,"client.exe");

		/* restore stdin */
	DosDupHandle(SaveMyIn,&MyIn);		

		/* send the client a message.  Client reads it from stdin */
	DosWrite(PipeWrite,"Hello, Client.\n",15,&byteswritten);

		/* clean up */
	DosSleep(2000);
	DosClose(PipeRead);
	DosClose(PipeWrite);
	return(0);
}

/* client.c */
#define INCL_DOS
#include 
#include 

int	main(USHORT argc, PCHAR argv[],PCHAR envp[]) {
	char		buf1[100];

/* this guy just does a regular scanf from what he thinks is stdin */
	
	scanf("%[^\n",buf1);
	printf("%s\n",buf1);
	return(0);
}
