Both of them ;-)  Ideally I would be able to attach an existing OS pipe 
handle as well so I could use it for reading output from std streams of 
a child process, i'm ignorant of the issues on unix like systems for 
this behaviour though. Currently I'm using sockets instead of pipes for 
local interprocess connections anyway so I can still use asio and can 
live with this for a while so I'm more than happy to wait until you have 
time;)  

I have been extremely impressed with asio so far, I'm in the process of 
rewriting a prototype application written in a more traditional threaded 
socket style and the simplification in design and implementation asio 
has brought have been immense, thanks for all your effort and good luck 
with tr2.

cheers

Martin
