How do I start XImtool with private fifo pipes?
Ximtool running with V2.10.3 will accept a connection on a domain socket so using private fifo pipes (e.g. for X-terminal users) is no longer the preferred method. For older IRAF versions provate pipes provide a backward compatability and can still be used in the same way. The pipes used are defined by the ‘input_fifo’ and ‘output_fifo’ reources.
