Pipe/FIFO + NDELAY question - (nf)

[pdl at root44.UUCP]

If you look in the SIII manual, it sez that writes to a pipe will always
fail if the count exceeds `a limit'.
I always interpreted that to mean that you can't write > PIPSIZ bytes
to a FIFO/pipe, (an assumption borne out by experience piping `dd's
together, as to funny behaviour with NDELAY set, I've never used NDELAY
on a pipe, and would expect funny behaviour, being as NDELAY never seems
to work with terminals anyway !
