I am trying to get a win32 application to communicate with a dos application (dos not ms-dos) via piping information to one another through stdin and stdout. I have not actually been able to create a pipe between the two programs. I believe the problem may be due to the fact that the pipes created in the win32 application are even being interpreted by the dos app. In other words does CreatePipe() create a pipe that cannot be understood by dos?
Doubtful......
Dos progs will make use of pipes internally, but the code doesnt know what a Win32Pipe is....so it would be tricky to say the least
I thought so...I'll take a different approach now. If the pipes had of worked correctly it could have saved so much time. I guess the plan was "too perfect"Thanks for the input Fordy.
I'm only assuming mind......there may be a way, but I'm not aware....
Well I'm sure it would be possible to make some sort of wrapper for the pipes but that is rather impractical. I did some digging and found a better route to obtaining my goal (without thunking). The QT_Thunk function. I'm sure it will get the job done nicely.
