As of Release 3.0, ordinary pipes were still ripped-off block-I/O inodes.
Hidden away somewhere were "stream pipes", but you had to make a special
effort to get them.  I'm pretty sure that a forthcoming release will have
the whole character I/O subsystem converted to STREAMS, but I don't know
if AT&T plans to convert to (full-duplex) stream pipes.  They certainly
ought to; that is one of the most effective tools for user-mode juggling
of streams.
