   And if someone want to see a case where they are different,   
   then this weird DCL does:   
      
   $ type pip.txt   
   A   
   BB   
   CCC   
   $ type pip.com   
   $ vf='f$verify(0)'   
   $ type sys$pipe   
   $ type sys$input   
   CCC   
   BB   
   A   
   $   
   $ if vf then exit f$verify(1)+1   
   $ exit 1   
   $ pipe type pip.txt | @pip   
   A   
   BB   
   CCC   
   CCC   
   BB   
   A
