At one time, I thought DOS handled pipes basically by writing the output of the first program to a file and then connecting the input of the next program to the file, after the first program completed. I don't think it resulted in the two programs running in parallel.
Does anyone else remember this?

"cmd" can handle pipe chains now, I believe it could twenty years ago. _______________________________________________ Kclug mailing list [email protected] http://kclug.org/mailman/listinfo/kclug
