I am trying to port an app from Unix to Win NT (Gnat Ada).
The app uses Named Pipes to send data between programs.
Have not been able to find  "mkfifo" or a Windows equivalent to use.

Is there an easy way to do this? It does not need to be elegant or
bullet-proof.
(The Win NT version is for development and test only.)


Thanks,
Peter
