IRC [19:18] <|Lurch|> AndyPiskorsky: yes - certainly an open pipe would do the trick, but it requires some trickery such as setting callbacks on file events or polling with gets - I was wondering if there is a canonical way of achieving this in aolserver - if "open" is it, that's fine - just want to make sure I don't go and reinvent the wheel.
