Looking at the help I find that CreateNamePipe is not available for Win95. But: CallNamedPipe, GetNamedPipeHandleState and others are available under this OS, and this confuses me a bit. Does this make sense? You cannot create one but you can use it? Is there maybe a way to have named pipes under Win98 SE? Any info will be greatly appreciated.

Correct. Quote: But: CallNamedPipe, GetNamedPipeHandleState and others are available under this OS Yes, because Win9x/Me can connect to names pipes, just not create them. Quote: Does this make sense? It makes perfect sense. Quote: You cannot create one but you can use it? Correct. Quote: Is there maybe a way to have named pipes under Win98 SE? W9x/Me cannot create named pipes. If you need Win9x/Me to accept connections from other machines, then use TCP/IP sockets instead.

Hi Gambit, I was thinking in terms of the local machine only - and there I found it difficult to imagine working with a named pipe if I couldn't create one. But once networking comes into the picture things look different.
