To all readers thinking they'd nee to intercept the message of an arriving spool file: it leaves a hole: reader files sitting there before WAKEUP/PIPE/xxx were active remain in the reader until another RDR file arrives. WAKEUP hasn't that problem.
And, you can save yourself a lot a work by looking at my RxServer package: it handles reader fies etc, built around WAKEUP, with built-in security etc. 2008/7/1 Hughes, Jim <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > How would the STARMSG pipeline detect someone typing a message at the > console and hitting the ENTER key?
