Thank shancat, yes finally I found it in API reference guide and in an old thread (under zmq mailing list) where some one had requested and tried to add ipc:// support for windows in 2011 but no success till 2013. As a user can you recommend zMQ on windows as I was evaluating it for a commercial software product currently running on Windows?
