Hi All,
I'll get back to the named pipes patch after the release of Crossover Office 2.0.
I'm a little worried that we won't be able to get unix pipes to do all the things that Windows pipes can do, but if I want my patch in... :)

No cause for despair! IIRC the patch was just rejected because it used wineserver calls for the actual pipe i/o, which was considered too inefficient, even for wine, by Alexandre ;) Alexandre suggested using connectionless sockets (I'm not sure if he means unix domain or inet sockets?). Far be it from me to have an opinion on things I do not understand, but if I /were/ to do so, I'd say that I don't see why connectionful unix domain sockets ought to be insufficient ;)
Anyhow, I vaguely recall that Mike replied that it would take some time, but that perhaps Alexandre's idea was workable... am I getting this right? In case it will help illuminate some idea-emotocon's above brighter heads than mine, here is my shot at converting Mike's patch (which was posted in an almost unmentionable format) into a unified diff against CVS wine, courtesy of winetreediff:
