...though it isnīt the same as a FIFO as you you canīt simply
call openFile on it, youīd have to use the module Socket again.
Hm, I need a way of getting network connections into a Hugs-version of my
current ghc-only program (because of "import Socket"). So I thought Iīd
just write a ghc-program which does the nework-stuff and writes to FIFOs
that Hugs *can* read, this wrapper could even be replaced by C or Java.
I canīt think of any other way of doing this (except by some really
evil things like file-spooling and busy-waiting/polling lock-files).
Any suggestions of solving my problem will be appreciated.
