I've been working at a new job with Pipes for about six months now, with
Hobart Spitz. It's so *good* to be plumbing again. I haven't had
occasion to write before, though I have been following the list for
years. Always enjoy reading it.

Remembering is another story. I suspect this has been answered more than
once before, but:

What's a simple idiom for 'emit a specified record iff there are no
input records'? There being no 'not dam', the best I've come up with is
  spec 1-* 1 set #0+=1 eof if #0=0 then /yuck/ 1 else nowrite endif
What am I missing?

I also wonder why it doesn't work if I combine the conditions with
  if (eof() & #0=0).
Not that I should; just wondering.
