Microsoft Press has an excellent book by Ralph Ryan called
"Lan Manager, A Programmer's Guide", that explains Named Pipes
in detail (P. 338-366).  [ISBN 1-55615-166-7]

For specifics on DOS Wksta to OS/2 Server communication, and the
libraries associated with this, you'll need the Lan Manager 2.0
PTK, which will be available shortly.
