 DM> In Synchronet, the source for the pipe/fork logic is in xtrn.cpp ->
 DM> sbbs_t::external() (for *nix). Take a look at that for a working example.

I was trying to do a bi directional pipe, like

socket -> A -> rz
rz -> B -> socket

where rz's standard in/out are pointed to A and B.
However, I ended up fixing it by myself, after a bunch of research.
