just hangs. Other programs like diff and friends work. I haven't perused the code, but I imagine you're tyring something like seeking on a FIFO perhaps?

Hi
Very useful program. Took a long time to find.
I have a specific problem loading subprocess results. In bash2 for example:
/trash/quickplot/quickplot-0.8.13/quickplot <( cat deleteme.txt )
just hangs. Other programs like diff and friends work. I haven't perused the code, but I imagine you're tyring something like seeking on a FIFO perhaps?
Oh apparently programs like quickplot call lseek, which doesn't work on FIFOs. I got quickplot to work with process substitution in zsh with:
quickplot =(cat file1.$$.txt ) =(cat file2.$$.txt )
where zsh uses real disc files using =() process substitution instead of the usual FIFO <()
