I have a shell script that uses mkfifo which comes back
and says it is not supported in cygwin.

I searched the mail list archives and the same question
was posted back in 1997, but I was wondering if the answer
is still the same? Is there a working version of mkfifo around
anywhere?

Can anybody show me (being Unix literate but windoze ignorant)
an alternative way to do this under windoze 2000?

Thanks for any help.
