Is it possible (in sh or in csh) to execute a program that is read from
stdin? For example, if the program ``myprog'' is in compressed format, it
isn't nice to type
uncompress myprog.Z ; myprog params_of_myprog ; compress myprog
Rather, it would be nice to be able to write something like
zcat myprog.Z | execute_stdin params_of_myprog
or `zcat myprog.Z` params_of_myprog
or ???
Any ideas? Thanks in advance
