If anyone could help me figure out why the new PIPE: device doesn't work with my setup I would be very thankfull. I am using ARP and WShell with 1.3, and I complicate matters by using CSA hardware and a GVP 40 partitioned into 2 20meg sections. The PIP: device works fine from WShell, but the new pipe device won't work when I 'dir > pipe:a' in one window (WShell or AmigaShell window) and I 'type pipe:a' in the next window. The second window can't find the pipe: device. To add to the problem I am still using VD0: and have newcon: mounted as well. I will keep on digging here, and if I find the solution (or another problem (:-) I will yell out. (I have the 1.2 ROM's as of now.) ************** * Turbo030 * ************** (Will install a '030 when I drop the 1.3 ROM's in!)

The PIP: device doesn't support file locks, which are required by the ARP commands which use wildcards. We'll be working on a way to allow use of PIP: more easily with ARP V1.3. With V1.1 ARP TYPE you should be able to do what you want with: TYPE <PIP:A rather than: TYPE PIP:A ( IE, use redirected input to the ARP Type command ). …cheath
