Maybe we could ask Microsoft to write this on every computer they sell operating systems for. :-) Is `\DEV' used in DOS itself?

Or is it a DJGPP quirk maybe? -- Groeten, Michel. http://www.cs.vu.nl/~mdruiter \----/==\----/ \ / \ / "You know, Beavis, you need things that suck, \/ \/ to have things that are cool", Butt-Head.
