FIFO's a.k.a. named pipes (Do they exist?)

My sysV manual talks about opening a FIFO, but I can't seem to find how I
might create one.  Admittedly, I don't have an r2 manual.  I remember
a v7 add-on (from Rand, I think, or BBN) that provided for such a beast, but
I've never seen it in a Kosher version.  Is the provision in open wishful
thinking or do these things exists now?

P.S.  My 4.2 manual says I can't open a socket *yet*; does this imply that
someday I will be able to?
