in thread run TreeTagger in Windows

From my reading of the OPs situation, the other end of the fifo is a pre-existing application.

That's my assumption as well.

I don't see how the two are going to communicate?

Through the fifo created using CreateNamedPipe as opposed to the fifo created using mkfifo.

The name of the fifo used by the pre-existing application should be configurable, assuming the pre-existing application is aware of fifos in the first place. The module could be interfacing with a tool that doesn't accept input via STDIN or doesn't produce output on STDOUT.

it might be possible via something like Samba?

do you think the pre-existing application is running on a separate machine? Do unix fifos work over NFS?

    Looking around I see that there is a Windows executable version of TreeTagger available, but there is no way that Alvis::TreeTagger is ever going to work on Windows.

    The name of the fifo used by the pre-existing application should be configurable,

    It doesn't use fifos, just plain files.
