Hi All,

What am I missing ?

I have written a program that takes requests from a program, and passes
them to another using named pipes (the reason being that the second prog
requires that the pipe be held open).  The problem is that everything works
perfectly for a normal named pipe, but if a UNC pipe name is used (be it
for a pipe on the local or a remote machine), it doesn't work :(

I'm working in Borland Pascal 7 with the german compiler patch.

The pipe is created with :

rc:=DosMakeNmPipe(Pipe,{at}Handle,OPEN_ACCESS_READWRITE,
                  1,1024,1024,100);

And opened with :

rc:=DosWaitNmPipe(Temp,3000);
If rc0 then Writeln('Error ',rc,' waiting for pipe!');
S.Init(PrepSFName(Temp),StOpen);
