changed second para. to read:
Just like pipes, FIFOs can have multiple processes writing to
them. However, if this is the case, each writer must be careful to
keep his writes no larger than PIPE_BUF bytes, or the data from
multiple processes will become intermixed. In Solaris 2.x, FIFOs are
full-duplex communications channels that allow bidirectional
communication, but this behavior is not standard, and should not be
relied upon if portability is an issue.
