Steps

Perform the following steps:

  • Start the "PIPEOS2.EXE" program within an OS/2 windowed session.

    Make certain that you use a numeric parameter to specify the number of pipes for PIPEOS2.EXE to create.

  • When prompted, start a DOS windowed session.
  • Run the BASIC program called "PIPEDOS.BAS".

    Type:

    BASICA PIPEDOS
    
    
    at the command line prompt.
  • Return to the OS/2 Windowed session.
  • Enter the letter that corresponds to the color you want the DOS window to display.

    To end the DOS BASIC program, send a "Q" from the OS/2 session.

    To end the OS/2 session, enter null.
