  Does anyone know how to create in Common Lisp
the equivilant to a Unix pipe? I need to create 
a stream that READ can use but I don't have all
of the text when creating the stream, so things
like MAKE-STRING-INPUT-STREAM won't do. I'm using 
Allegro Common Lisp, so if anyone knows of an
internal function, that would be fine.
