yesterday i posted a query about 4dos 2.11's errant handling of
pipes.  thanks to iadt3tb@prism.gatech.edu, i found that 4dos has
been upgraded to version 2.2, which fixes my pipes problem.

actually, it may not have been a problem.  4dos 2.11 depended on
a TMP environment variable being set to a path where 4dos would
create the 'fake'* pipe files.  the docs don't mention this any-
where proximate to the description of pipes.  2.2 detaults to \.

4dos22.arc, which does not contain new docs, is available from
simtel20.arpa as pd1:<msdos.sysutl>.
