Any way to pipe output from a command line app to blitzmax app?

I'm making a console/terminal app and I need to execute another non-blitzmax
app and get it's output. I was looking in the stdio for any pipe info, but see
nothing but input and print.

Does anyone have any solutions that do not use Win32 api calls? Looking for
a solution that will work on any supported blitzmax platform.

(as a last resort I can of course pipe it to a text file and then read that in, but
that takes more time than a direct pipe to my app)

Thanks for any help or info,
