#304 lock-up reading from pipe
Am looking for examples or suggestions on interfacing
from Linux to the DOS layer under dosemu. Currently we
have a DOS4GW dll that opens a pipe provided by a vxd
under Windows for communication.
It is wished that the dos dll remains unchanged but a
linux replacement provides the pipe. As a note it
looks as though pointers to DOS memory are being passed
through the pipe.
Thoughts on possible implementation under dosemu?

Interesting. Trying to read from pipe, dosemu locks
up completely until the input is available. We should use
non-blocking mode for file access I guess.
Bug.
Obviously pipe is not the best way for dosemu,
even though it might be possible.
I guess if your vxd would create the pipe under
dosemu's drive_c, you'll get what you want.
Any possibility to use int 0xe6 instead?
