I have a basic question that I cannot find a documented answer to:

What is the difference between an init and a cdev, or is there no fine
line drawn between them?

The differences that I can think of are memory usage and control panel
access.  Am I right? Are there others?

I have a feeling that I am going to get a lot of mail, but I have been
wondering too long about this.

Thanks,
Bill Jindrich (jindrich@s.cs.uiuc.edu)
