	What are the differences between a regular pipe and a
	named pipe?

	Which type of pipe is faster and by how much?

	Which is faster, a named pipe or a message queue?

	Does a named pipe always go to disk or only when the allocated
	memory is exhausted?

	Finally, please send me any additional comments, hints, or
	suggestions concerning Interprocess Communications. I been 
	using ALL the different IPC mechanisms for years but there
	are a few lingering questions.
