I found a readme in the Rexx subdir of Pc-Pipes, telling one can/should
replace REXX.EXE by RxPIPE.EXE
So, I did, but now my pipe still doesn't work:
address RxPipe 'PIPE (end ? sep !)',
 'diskr' belegfil,
 '!Nfind *!Nfind T!StrNfind " *"',
 '!A: Find A!SPEC W2-* 1!STEM A. ?A:', /* Nog niet gebruikt .. */
 '!V: Find V!SPEC W2-* 1!STEM V. ?V:', /* Nog niet gebruikt .. */
 '!R: Find R!SPEC W2-* 1!STEM R. ?R:', /* Nog niet gebruikt .. */
 '!Y: Find Y!SPEC W3-* 1!STEM Y. ?Y:', /* Nog niet gebruikt .. */
 '!B: Find B!            STEM B. ?B:',
 '!Out: Fanout', /* Make second copy */
 ,/* Zet "found.x.nr=1" (bvb found.D.123)  */
 '!SPEC /=FOUND./ 1 1 N /./ N w2 N /=1/ N',
 '!SORT Unique!VARLOAD DIRECT',
 '?Out:',
 '!D: Find D!SPEC W2-* 1!STEM D. ?D:', /* Nog niet gebruikt .. */
 '!H: Find H!SPEC W2-* 1!STEM H. ?H:',
 '!I: Find I!SPEC W2-* 1!STEM I. ?I:',
 '!K: Find K!SPEC W2-* 1!STEM K. ?K:', /* Nog niet gebruikt .. */
 '!S: Find S!SPEC W2-* 1!STEM S. ?S:'
It yields:
Unknown option specified: !
Unknown option specified:
Stream label has not been defined: S
Syntax errors in pipe definition

I case you wonder why I use ! as stage separator: up to now I use W32PIPE, a
very old version of a Win32 Pipe created by a colleague in Holland, there
the default separator is !.
