Interesting HST tip from Draco.NET source

I noticed an interesting “hooking stuff together” technique in the Draco.NET source for integrating with crufty old (but often extremely useful) command line utilities. The Process class has a StandardOutput property that can return a streamreader for reading standard output from. Much better than the VisualBasic Shell function.

Justin Rogers has a class which wraps much of this "piping" functionality; I’ll see if I can track down the link tomorrow and shoot it to you.
