'b' is a device under Win32?? Where in the FAQ does it say this??? What
the hell is 'b'?
I'm assuming that 'b' is not already a file in the directory where John was
trying this and that the proper permissions exist for that directory. I
find the sequence John reports works fine for me with b19 + coolview on
NT SP4.
