   No flames from me. I am all for Unix-like pipes, and use PIP:, as supplied with
   ConMan. CBM's PIPE: device is just to restrictive for me. I don't know when
   they are going to do them, but until then, I heartily recommend PIP:

Yeah, and with the arp shell (at least) this works great.  I have a dilemma
now, which is that I'm planning to switch over to SKsh, but from what
I've garnered from the (immense!) docs, I can't do concurrent pipes.  

Steve K, if you're out there, could you explain (briefly) what the limits
are on pipes with SKsh, and whether or not (and if not, why not) SKsh allows
support for the (optional) conman PIP: device?
