I am writing a named pipe server app.  I have a pipe with a number of
threads servicing a byte mode blocking pipe.  The problem I am having is
that I want to be able to end any of the threads, problem is that
DosConnectNPipe waits indefinitely (no timeout option) so there isn't any
easy way to cleanly end a thread that is waiting for a connection.  (If I
just kill the thread, I get a trap when the RTL cleans up.)

I am wondering if I can use DosSetNPHState to set ONE INSTANCE of a pipe to
nonblocking mode while I am doing DosConnectNPipe on that instance and then
set it back when I am ready to use it, or if DosSetNPHState affects all
instances of a pipe?  I can't have all instances that may be in different
parts of pipe handling being switched back and forth between blocking and
nonblocking mode.  I just want to change ONE instance.

If you have any other suggestions, please let me know.

Thanks for your help

Rob.
