It works as expected, reading data from stdin - even on Windows. Why should that be different. Piping data into programs on Windows is as old as PCDOS 2.0.1a (~1983). There is and has always been a nul device in Windows, it is just named "/dev/nul" and not "/dev/null". However on the windows command line you better use just "nul" as the device - that is a special filename. Salam-Shalom, Werner -- Die Gedanken sind frei.
