I am trying once again to make the
xPIPE event in Gui4Cl work as expected under OS4
My recent AllocSysObject question was about this ( in fact a program piper.c build of 'pipe related' gui4cli's component)
I struggle with
1. lack (did not find anyway ) of a working pipe's source.
Pipeviewer 0.4.5 is available on sourceforge as an Amiga program
but i did not find the corresponding source
http://www.ivarch.com/programs/sources/pv-1.5.7-1.src.rpm
as a more recent, it would probably be more usefull too to our community, so i guess i am asking: can someone compile this version ?
or else: does anybody know of an other pipe related source (& its working OS4 program)
2. lack of a good (& hopefully simple) explanation of tasks & processes in Amiga (OS4.1 ?)
Maybe i did not search well here.
3. The do's & don't in debugging them (such as some i noted about using IDOS (PrintF) functions in the AllocSysObject thread
@JosDuchIt
Have you had a look at AmigaOS Documentation Wiki ?
Tasks are well explained and I guess "pipe programming" should be there as well (not checked myself).
@JosDuchIt
"Pipe programming" is normally related to the interprocess communication (IPC) domain.
The PIPE: handler is there for the purpose
@Massi
thanks for references.
I did since also found

CHAPTER 5: The Communication between tasks on Amiga
@JosDuchIt
You should be able to use the PIPE: handler (or any other AmigaDOS handlers), through normal AmigaDOS file I/O functions such as Open(), Read() and Write().
