And the same program as you written in Gambas works too:

  Dim hFile As File
  Dim iChar As Byte

  hFile = Pipe "/tmp/FIFO1" For Input

  Print "Now let's start:";; Eof(hFile)
  
  Do
    Try iChar = Read #hFile As Byte
    If Error Then 
      ' Normally the error is "End of file"
      Print Error.Text
      Break
    Endif
    Print Chr$(iChar);
  Loop

  Print "That's it."
