How do you make sure you locate only disk devices, >and not merely all devices that are resident and have a name? Hmm, but isn't that the whole *point* of the PIPE: device? To allow programs to use it without modificiation? I might, in another CLI, say something like: 1> zcat >PIPE:foo compressed-iff-file.Z and then load PIPE:foo from DPaint. When saving the file, I could save to PIPE:bar, and then in the other CLI say 1> compress >new-compressed-iff-file.Z -c PIPE:bar I'm sure that you can some up with similar situtations that apply to network- like devices for other purposes. It's not a bug, its a feature. Really. louie
