		| Abstract: | 
		We describe a very simple yet flexible and effective pipeliner for
 UNIX commands. It creates a Makefile to define a
 set of serially dependent commands. The 
 commands in the pipeline share a common set of parameters by which they can
 communicate. 
 Commands must follow a simple
 convention to retrieve and store parameters. 
 Pipeline parameters can optionally be made persistent 
 across multiple runs of the pipeline. 
 Tools were added to
 simplify running a large series of pipelines, which can then also be
 run in parallel. |
