Hi Rick, Probably you already know these. There was a discussion on PC-Pipes a few years ago on this list as well. Unfortunatly, when looking for the sources it's very hard to find the original locations, if they still exist at all. Google is not your friend in this case, it presents a lot of unrelated links to pipes (PVC, exhaust etc).
There is PC-pipes (or PC-Pipelines), an implementation of CMS/TSO Pipelines for .net. It's an interface between ooRexx and Pipelib.dll. It contains an executable RxPipe.exe that is a modified rexx.exe. I did find a few links but the pages do not exist anymore and the wayback-machine didn't archive the actual zip of tgz files. In the sources I can't find any reference to the developer. My local version of PC-Pipes is from 2010, Pipelib is from 2011. The PC-Pipes is object code only, the Pipelib was availale as source, but aparently it doesn't compile in Linux. There is NJPipes by Ed Tomlinson, a pipeline implementation between Netrexx and Java. The netrexx guides mention it, as well as some presentations from Rene Jansen. I don't know if the original is still available anywhere, the original location (http://www.cam.org/~tomlins/njpipes.html) is no longer available, it redirects to a different page. But it looks like it has been included in current netrexx versions, starting v3.08 njpipes is inside the netrexxC.jar file. Craig Edwards has made a java based pipelines (latest version from 2012, found at https://github.com/edwardaux/Pipelines), but that version is no longer supported, however there is a swift based version at https://github.com/edwardaux/pipes. I also have quite some pipe related files in old OS sources but since that's in unix related trees (BSD, Minix, Linux, Solaris, Ultrix etc) I expect that's all unix plumbing instead of CMS pipes.

hello gang -- I've been trying to gather a list of pipelines implementations apart from CMS/TSO. Specifically, I know about NetRexx Java Pipes, and I think there was another Java implementation. I also found an implementation in Swift. Are there others? This is my current question. I'm scheduled to present at the VM Workshop on "Pervasive Plumbing - Pipelines for Everyone". My own attempt has finally borne fruit. So many stages to write. So little time. I want to make sure that the talk covers sufficient ground and gives credit to the other developers. thanks! -- -- R; <><
