As far as the QL-side of things is concerned, non-directory devices should be able to cope with strings up to approx 32k characters, possibly even as a device name, although convention dictates that the device name itself should be short. (I think HISTORY is the longest current device name). The rest of the string would be seen as a parameter by the driver to be interpreted any which way the driver author likes - so there should not be any problems there for a while yet ;) Per _______________________________________________ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm
