Hi all,

a few days ago there was a thread in the cygwin-xfree
mailing list using named pipes for unix domain sockets and
some people told me, that named pipes are not possible under
win95. (in truth, MSDN and some thread on google says, that
only named pipes clients are possible).

After searching a while in the google database I have found
a sample implementation for named pipes on win95/98/Me on
http://www.codeguru.com/system/NPW.html, which implement it
with anonymous pipes and uses the registry to exchange the
pipe handles between the processes.

Any comments ?

Regards

Ralf Habacker
