OK- since I started this, I'll continue it: I spent about 1/2 a day finding an example, and writing the C code. Only thing is, it doesn't work! (The C program just ignores anything on the pipe...I couldn't find any information beyong "compile and run the program". Is there a special *WAY* to run the program to answer a DBMS pipe that I am missing??) Received on Mon Aug 29 1994 - 17:26:44 CEST
