[ql-users] ProForma Filter
I was reading the archives and noticed that Rich Mellor was after a copy of my BlackHole device driver - the one which 'does nothing' as someone succinctly put it - and I was wondering if he (Rich) had managed to get hold of a copy of the source.

One thing I can say about BlackHole is that it is extremely useful for debugging or for silencing output especially with c68 compiled programs (the ones with standard output ;-) ) Actually it is my belief that it should be part of the OS (as a nul device like most OSes have) On that note, could I use it in freeQDOS?

Marcel ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm Maybe it doesn't have as glamorous a name as 'Black_Hole' ? Maybe it needs to have two 'L's in the name to avoid confusing all us C and Database programmers out here who use NULL all the time. :o) Cheers, Norm. -- No virus found in this outgoing message.

It is seldom that I do not get at least one attack in a 10 to 15 minute logon. I rely on a Antivirus at the minute AntiVir, a spamblocker and a Spyware detector. Seems to be adequate until you let me know I have a virus or other malware. However I do suspect that goverments encourage malware by letting firms profit from malware instead of saying that no body can profit from unreasonable activity.

I was reading the archives and noticed that Rich Mellor was after a copy of my BlackHole device driver - the one which 'does nothing' as someone succinctly put it - and I was wondering if he (Rich) had managed to get hold of a copy of the source. Cheers, Norm. No I didn't actually ask for a copy of this device driver - or at least never persued it. Wasn't the source published in a certain magazine?? lol -- Rich Mellor Indeed, it's also available on a certain website of a certain editor of the said certain magazine if anyone wants to see the source of Norman's first ever device driver! Source and binary in blackhle.zip on that page. www.dilwyn.uk6.net/utils/index.html Or on disk GE61 of PD library... Or in the Zips directories on Emulators CD... In other words, Rich and Ffibys probably already have it (along with a whole host of other softwares they never knew they already had) ;-) -- Dilwyn Jones -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
