Hallo Pavios,

I first thought you can do this with "cd /dev;./MAKEDEV gpmdata" then
I did a "ls -lap /dev/gpmdata" and got
prw-rw-rw- 1 root root 0 2003-03-18 10:39 /dev/gpmdata|
and realised that this is not a normal device.
I could not immediately remember what the | is referring to so I did a
zsh % file /dev/gpmdata
/dev/gpmdata: fifo (named pipe)
So to create that you can use "mkfifo /dev/gpmdata"
Regards.
Johann
