Pipes come in various flavors - TSO, CMS, z/OS Batch, *nix so that you can select the flavor that you like best. Sadly two of the flavors require that you work with the manufacturer on a special order while the other two (CMS and *nix) have them as part of the base design. You use them to speed up the flow of important stuff around walls, valleys, cliffs, mountains, etc.

They sound interesting. Do they stream information like lead and copper and PVC plumbing streams water?
