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.
