I've got 2 versions on Windows

   - The one I often use (mainly in my REXX code to maintain my photo's):

   This document describes OS/2 Pipelines version 0.99 for OS/2 and version
   1.00.52 for Windows and AIX.

   The OS/2 version is available as OS2PIPE package on the OS2TOOLS
   repository.
   The (beta) Windows or AIX versions are requestable from the author. On a
   VM/CMS command line enter:

   REQUEST WINPIPE FROM FDB AT NLVM

   or:

   REQUEST AIXPIPE FROM FDB AT NLVM

   The initial versions of the OS/2 Pipelines program and this
   documentation (up to version 0.53) were written by Mark VanTassel during
   1993 and 1994. Since Mark has left IBM (ISSC) in September 1994, ownership
   of the OS2PIPE package has been transferred to Frans de Bruijn (FDB at
   IBMNL or *[email protected] <[email protected]>* ).

   Ronald van der Laan wrote the first version of the BUFFER, COLLATE,
   LOOKUP, and SORT stages.
   - As it misses quite some stages that I was used to on z/VM, and as it
   had some bugs in handling FIELDSEP/WORDSEP and SUBSTR, I looked for another
   implementation and found "PCPIPES" or "PC-PIPES" by James Johnson.  Back in
   2011.  It was more complete, but much slower.  I had quite some contacts
   with the author at  [email protected] As I had too many
   problems with accented characters when reading files and passing then
   between REXX and PC-Pipes, I gave up.

So, I still use WINPIPE on my Windows 10.  Incomplete, but the basics work
perfectly well.  Except for VARLOAD, that causes REXX to abend. So I coded
around using STEM
