If you get any good answers please summarize, or at least send me e-mail.
I need this same capability.

I want to layer my application on top of ssh, but I am not sure how to
open a program read/write. Thinking IPC was the only way I have been
trying to unstand how I might accomplish what I need to do in that way.

I know you can do either read, or write with popen, but not both.

Solaris has a command pipe(), that appears to be bi-directional, but it is
not clear to me how to use it from the man page.

Still working on it...

Thanks,
Chris
