I have a program that takes input from the keyboard and reports status
to the screen.  I'd like to run this program such that its standard
input comes from a named pipe and its standard output is sent to another
named pipe.  Is this possible ?  Or, does is it necessary that the
program programatically read/write from/to named pipes ?
