+I just noticed that netpipes doesn't support bidirectional pipes.
+So I made my own version.
+Now I can say in computer A that "plis 12345 -io ohjelma" and in computer B that "pcon A 12345 -io ohjelma2",
+and they communicate together then.
+My example utilization was that I can send the picture of SNES-emulator to another
+computer via network, and grab the keyboard input there, so get two consoles to
+the same game.
+My friend wanted to watch when I play FF6, but didn't want to sit next to my monitor,
+and asked if he could get the picture to his monitor.
+And he got it.
+Then he asked if he could play it from his computer at the same time as me...
+And now it works too.
+Other ways of use can everybody invent theirselves.
+It's really easy to make simple server software with this.
+For example, do "plis 79 -io finger" and then you have a finger-service.
+Or "plis 5555 -o 'cat signature'" and then port 5555 gives your signature.
