You need to understand that there's no code in the DJGPP library which specifically forbids using files in x:/dev. This is just an unfortunate side-effect of the special treatment that files in x:/dev get. The single most important problem is that DOS devices can have any name they choose, so when handed a name x:/dev/foo, you have no idea whether this is a device or a file named foo in the dev directory. The challenge is to retain the special treatment for devices and yet support existing normal files in that directory. Patches to make that happen are welcome. > This wouldn't break compatibility with any Unix ports, would it? ``Show me the source.'' Without that, who knows?
