Feel free to disagree with the official Linux documentation then: http://www.kernel.org/doc/man-pages/online/pages/man2/pipe.2.html Note "int pipefd[2]" file descriptors in Unix are integers. Dossy says this is the same in Windows (I wouldn't know), perhaps the problem lies in the semantics, IIRC windows doesn't support anonymous pipes, for instance. (But I could be wrong about that … but I'm not wrong about Unix fds being ints) ---- Don Baccus http://donb.photo.net http://birdnotes.net http://openacs.org -- AOLserver - http://www.aolserver.com/ To Remove yourself from this list, simply send an email to <lists...@listserv.aol.com> with the body of "SIGNOFF AOLSERVER" in the email message.
