BTW, I'm assuming you mean this example:
http://seriss.com/people/erco/fltk/#add_fd
..and /not/ this other one, which also uses popen, but is unix only:
http://seriss.com/people/erco/fltk/#mkfifo
Life will definitely be easier if you use popen(), because then
you don't have to use threads.. add_fd() does all the work for you.
add_fd() only works with the unixy 'file descriptors' returned by
calls like popen/fopen/open/etc. add_fd() /won't/ work with
CreatePipe()/CreateFile(), because Microsoft wanted to be different.
