mkfifo question



Hello,

Currently I download a file (which is about 700MB) from wget and place
it in my /tmp and do my task on the file. If I have to work with 10 of
these fies at a single time I have to have 10 files in /tmp;

I was wondering if anyone has a clever idea how I can avoid having all
10 in /tmp and have a pipe or a "virtual file" so the program things
there is actually a file there.  Is it possible to fake out the OS
like that?
