I've previously mentioned that Corinna and others have discussed ways of implementing /dev. I'm not going to accept a patch that exposes /dev without reopening that discussion.

I was going to assume that since I'd already mentioend this it would be obvious but, of course, nothing is ever obvious in the cygwin mailing list. cgf -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
