When running OS 1.3 and ARP (AShell) I could use the '|' to pipe. Now
I have to use the AmigaDOS 'pipe:' device, but do not understand what
the manual is telling me. How would I implement an equivalent of this
unix command 'sort foo | lpr -Pxxxx' using the amigaDOS pipe: device.
Or better yet, is there a way to implement the '|' again??

The Amiga shell and CLI don't support '|' for pipes. You have to either 1) get a shell that does, or 2) use the following: run sort foo to pipe:sort lpr -Pxxxxx pipe:sort WShell is my recommendation for a replacement shell with |'s. It's commercial, well-supported, and has a high degree of compatability with the Commodore Shells. The 1.3 version runs on 2.0, but has a minor functionality break; the 2.0 version has been in test for a *long* time, and should be shipping soon (now that 2.0 ROMs are out). I understand people are also using csh (Matt Dillon's csh clone) and sksh (Steve Koren's ksh clone) under 2.0, but haven't tried it myself. <mike | |||||
