Check out cbttape.org for this implementation
FILE1035 is from Hobart Spitz and contains a version of Pipes
for z/OS which is written in REXX. Documentation
for the package is in PDF format, and is in member
$PDFDOC, which has to be downloaded to a PC in
Binary and viewed there.
An introduction to zPipe is provided in the member
called $EXPLAIN.
Member EXEC is a TSO XMIT of all the REXX execs, and
member CEXEC is the compiled REXX members, in XMIT
format. The other individual pds members come from
the EXEC nenber, after being RECEIVE'd.

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.
Regards, Berry.
