Hi Bill,

While queues are fine for OS/2 sessions to communicate on a single
system, they don't work for client/server, peer-to-peer or even with a
VDM. Named pipes deal with all of these.

And Udo's original problem was reading an anonymous pipe along a
command line. No joy with queues there, either.

Regards

Dave
