- Features of Pipes:
  - Pipes can be "tuned" to maximize performance.
    - Can adjust pipe properties including transfer length (`/TL=`).
  - NeXtMidas pipes support "warm starts."
    - Significant changes to the pipe structure can be made without restarting the macro.
    - Primitives "down the line" automatically adjust to the changes in the pipe.
  - NeXtMidas pipes are automatically created and destroyed.
    - Unlike X-Midas there is no need to predefine the number of pipes (X-Midas uses `/NP=` to set the maximum number of pipes).

X-Midas Users Take Note:
X-Midas pipes require tuning to make them work correctly. NeXtMidas pipes usually work "out of the box" and use tuning to improve performance.
