The fifo implementation has improved since that time however: http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-announce/2005-04/msg00035.html IMO, the posted check for fifos is flawed in that it assumes that writing to a fifo will not block if there is no reader on the fifo. That's not true for cygwin. cgf -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
