From http://www.lydgate.org.uk/linux/HowDoI.html <quote> Character mode files: these files are either special system files (such as /dev/null, which we already discussed), or peripherals (serial or parallel ports), which share the particularity that their contents (if they have any) are not buffered (meaning they are not kept in memory). Such files are identified by the letter c. </quote> You'll find other types there too. Anne -- Registered Linux User No.293302 Have you visited http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org yet?
