I am relatively new to named pipes in windows.
I require a windows tool similar to linux’s socat for communicating via named pipes. Can Cygwin’s socat access windows named pipes? If so, how?

Figured it out myself quickly enough.
Used putty and the serial as the connection type. Typed the full pipe name in the serial line box.
