Hi folks. Some years back, I was a hard-core VM devotee, working in the industry and loving it, and occasionally contributing to this forum.
Back when CMS Pipelines were popular, I was a pipe addict, creating many utilities and tools -- some of which may even be running to this day. I always wanted to come up with a similar implementation for other platforms, for instance Linux and Windows. About a year ago, someone did indeed create a Windows version. It's not the same internally, but it works pretty well and the external command-line interface is a faithful reproduction of the original, including multistream pipes, many of the filters and drivers as CMS Pipelines, and a stage command API to create your own. I know that there are many alternatives nowadays, especially on the *ix platform, but if you find yourself on Windows and yearning for a good pipe, this may just scratch the itch. http://tenfiftytwo.co.uk/pipelines/ Here's an example pipe: pipe <http://tenfiftytwo.co.uk/pipelines/Documentation%201.7/Pipelines.htm#The_pipe_command> (*endchar <http://tenfiftytwo.co.uk/pipelines/Documentation%201.7/Pipelines.htm#Specifying_pipe_options>* ?) *< <http://tenfiftytwo.co.uk/pipelines/Documentation%201.7/Stage%20command/Filein.htm>* myfile.txt | a: *locate <http://tenfiftytwo.co.uk/pipelines/Documentation%201.7/Stage%20command/Locate.htm>* ‘friend’ | *change <http://tenfiftytwo.co.uk/pipelines/Documentation%201.7/Stage%20command/Change.htm>* ‘hello’ ‘goodbye’ | b: *faninany <http://tenfiftytwo.co.uk/pipelines/Documentation%201.7/Stage%20command/Faninany.htm>* | *> <http://tenfiftytwo.co.uk/pipelines/Documentation%201.7/Stage%20command/Fileout.htm>* myfile.txt ? a: | *take <http://tenfiftytwo.co.uk/pipelines/Documentation%201.7/Stage%20command/Take.htm>* * | b: Enjoy!
