Thanks... I was wondering, too. Is it neccessary to use COM1, or does com1
also work? Is there an info node or man page that lists the entire DJGPP
device nomenclature (/dev/lpt?, /dev/aux, etc.) Is it possible to map new
devices into the DJGPP bash ... like setting a certain printer to /dev/lp0?
(alias only works for command names)


Thanks
