fixme:win32:PeekNamedPipe

[Michael Riedel]

First of all I want to thank the community for the efforts spent in 
developing wine. It's simple a cool "tool" (sorry, it's more, I know).

Now my problem: I installed wine-20020411 without having a native 
windows installation. I installed successfully a simulator software 
which obviously uses a tcl/tk-GUI to invoke other program moduls 
(compiler, library manager, simulator core) re-directing their 
stdin/stdout to the console window via pipes. It does not work for me 
and I get the message (infinitivly repeated):

fixme:win32:PeekNamedPipe (00000080, (nil), 00000000, (nil), 0x406a2194, 
(nil)): stub

Searchin the web I got no hit.

Questions:

(1) Can I avoid this by using a native windows-dll? If yes, which dll I 
have to install (but I assume it is a kernel-dll function and so it is 
not possible)?

(2) I have no Windows programming background, but what do you think: 
Should I dare to implement this function or was it left open because of 
a tricky windows-API-Linux mapping problem?

(3) Any other ideas?

Thanks,
Michael
