Yes I know. In my own port of named pipe support i wanted to make use of
NT's ability to share named pipes over M$ network. But unfortunaly i ran
into problems with it because there are no programs actually using that
kerneld feature which could tell how to do. Another point is that named
pipes cannot be used in Win9x and WinME. Anyway you'll find the symbols in
kerneld. Thus you wont need different binaries...
I would be *very* interested in what you have !!!
