It has been a while, but if memory serves:

* Windows Named pipes are in there own name space which it looks like you have nailed

* Windows Named pipes are (unlike in Unix) not accessed like ordinary files. That is there are special API's in windows for handling named pipes.

Therefore what you are trying to do probably won't work (on windows) without the access module.

It would work on Unix because the system calls for pipes are the same as ordinary files. Thus on Unix you can substitute a named pipe for a file and it will typically just work. I know this because I have done it (many years ago). The only problem I had was that for large volumes, the utilities will sometimes execute a seek (not sure why) which would result in an invalid operation error.

Hope this helps
