1. I would like pipe-from on windows to work. "dev/urandom" is a unix thing only. Also maybe a true pipe without file writing would be better?. Not being able to open a connection and hold on to it for reuse is a big road block for me (ie running sql).

2. I would like the path names for file and directory functions to work on windows. ie.e mkdir on windows does not support the "-p" command nor does it support forward slashes. I think the remove directory function also has unix only stuff.

I've noticed it mentioned on this forum (and from reading your code comments) that you use a Mac as do I at home, but I am hoping if there's support for windows right from the beginning that life will be easier for everyone later on.
