The DEV device doesnt seem to work like that:
If you have a directory structure like
win1_ps_ ->
win1_ps_letter_doc
win1_ps_pt_ ->
win1_ps_pt_letter_doc
If you set
DEV_USE 1, 'win1_'
then you can OPEN, or whatever, dev1_ps_letter_doc and
dev1_ps_pt_letter_doc. All well and good. If you set
DEV_USE 1, 'win1_ps_'
then Qpac2 or OPEN finds dev1_letter_doc (= win1_ps_letter_doc) ok, as youd
expect, but it cant find dev1_pt_letter_doc. You better check out whether
DEV's behaviour is what you expect.
