Bidirectional communication through pipes: read/write popen()

[Tim Evans]

Looks good.  Could this also be done using threads?

Possiblity:

create two threads, one for reading and the other for writing.  Then
you can pass strings to the writing thread and get back the buffered
result from the reading thread.  This allows interactive communication 
without the danger of deadlocks.

Has this been done before or should I give it a go?
