OK - Is there anyone out there that can explain to me how named pipes work
(specifically on the UNIXpc)?  I understand the concept, but I don't know
how to implement them.  I believe /dev/lp is one, but I'm not sure.  Does
each one require a device driver?  Does the fact that I use the pty package
make things any easier?
