     11 =head1 DESCRIPTION
     12 
     13 vipe allows you to run your editor in the middle of a unix pipeline and
     14 edit the data that is being piped between programs. Your editor will
     15 have the full data being piped from command1 loaded into it, and when you
     16 close it, that data will be piped into command2.
