Hello.

I was recently thinking of adding /dev/zero via a FSEXT to DJGPP. I
reasoned that /dev/null was currently implemented in this way. Is this so?
A grep of the DJGPP libc sources didn't yield anything that looked like
/dev/null support. Is /dev/null support implemented in bash, make, etc. or
is it part of DJGPP's libc? If not, why not?

Having looked at the FSEXT sources, I think it would be quite easy to
install some FSEXTs to the FSEXT list automatically.

Thanks, bye,
