From: peter@ficc.ferranti.com (Peter da Silva) Other operating systems have learned from UNIX in this respect, in fact! AmigaOS puts all manner of interesting things in the file name space, including pipes (PIPE:name), windows (CON:Left/Top/Width/Height/Title/Flags), and the environment (ENV:varname). Other things have been left out but are being filled in by users (it's relatively easy to wite device handlers on AmigaOS). There are some really odd things like PATH:. This can be opened as a file and looks like a list of directory names, or used as a directory in which case it looks like the concatenation of all the named directories. -- Peter da Silva. `-_-' +1 713 274 5180.
