Command Pipelines in MacOS

[ck...@bcm.tmc.edu]

Does anyone know what the MacOS equivalent to a UNIX command pipeline is?
I'm trying to port something written in Tcl/Tk from Solaris to MacOS but I am
receiving the error "Command pipelines not supported by Macintosh OS."

Thanks!

AppleEvents - but they're VERY different.

If AppleEvents weren't quite what you were looking for, and if you are
doing a trivial port then you may want to read "Pipes for Macintosh" (Dr.
