Dear Friends:
I would like to know if with this new version there are support for fifos
(named pipes), I mean mkfifo funtion is available?
Thank you in advanced.
Sincerely,
Rafael Avalos

There have been plans to implement named pipes since more than
two years. Robert Collins was working on sth. in the first quarter
but it's really tricky stuff since they aren't implemented at all
in 9x/ME and they are implemented way different from POSIX in NT/W2K.
So the answer is "no" for the next Cygwin release.
Just so that nobody forgets it: Patches gratefully accepted.

I have/had them fully funtional, but had problems with fork(). At that point
I didn't know enough about what cygwin fork did, and now I don't have the
time to pick it up again.
I'm happy to dust off what I have if someone wants to pick it up and run
with it.

Most of the time bash, which is included with cygwin works just as well
as Korn shell. However, if your script uses some ksh specific items then
you will also need to install pdksh. You can get the source code from
the following web page.
