RE: Named Pipes Protocol Adapter

Jared,

        I use to use Named Pipes MANY years ago before TCP/IP became the major player in networking. It runs on top of NBP or NetBeui. While one can use it with WinDoze that's about all. None of the Unix vendors that I know of support it. I believe that even MicroSlop has deprecated it's use. So, Why would one want to use it? Probably because they don't know any better.

Mladen,

I think what is being referred to here is that named pipes can be set up as a protocol in the listener on Windoze.

As to why one would want to do that, I don't have an answer.
