Summary: I Can't get Matthew Dillon's Pipe to work

Help. I obtained a copy of Matthew Dillon's PD PIPE program, and I am
having problems installing it. I editted my mountlist as the example
shows. I moved the "pipe.device" file into the devs: directory (and changed
the path in the mountlist to reflect this). I mounted pipe: and it shows
up on the list of devices for "assign". When I try to use it, however, it
doesn't work. As a test, I tried:
	dir > pipe:foo
This returns the error message:
   CLIerror: unable to open redirection file
Now it is finding something, because otherwise I would get a requestor
telling me to insert volumne pipe: . My guess is that for some reason
the system can't load the pipe.device file. I therefore tried to compile
it, and I wound up with two errors:
One was that it couldn't open the libraries/filehandler.h file and the other
was that it didn't know a field from the DeviceNode record.
  I am running 1.2, but I unfortunately do not have the updated include files
(yet).
  Does anyone have any idea what is going on, or how I can fix it? I should
ask Matthew Dillon himself, but I do not know his net address (or even if he
is on the net). Does anyone know of any other public domain pipes?
