There is a such a thing as DEV_REXT which is a small extensions file to give a DEV device on systems which haven't one build in. I've put a copy onto my website at:
http://www.dilwyn.uk6.net/tk/index.html The zip file includes a text file plus an article about use of DEV. There's a boot program and the extensions file itself. I've never actually used DEV_REXT myself, I just thought it might prove helpful. The other device utilities like SUB and PTH are there too. > Maybe something on the free GPL licence that is stopping Peter from > thinking he can distribute his work is beyond me. After all, Red Hat > Linux I think that the basic problems are insurmountable here - Peter and the traders have diametrically opposite views on the SMSQ/E situation and I don't think it's going to change, unfortunately. There have been some disagreements in the past which may prevent resolution of this issue - Roy's email shows this. -- Dilwyn Jones _______________________________________________ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm
