Try and show us your terminal. No, I am not. I was just hinting at the problem in an oblique way. The snippet you quoted is zcat TheFile.gz | MyFifo ...which for the shell means "try to /execute/ MyFifo and feed it the output of zcat into its stdin. That's why I proposed (jokingly) to make MyFifo executable. Of course, executing a fifo doesn't really make much sense; elsewhere in the thread there is a "more viable" solution. Cheers -- t
