COM1, LPT1, AUX, etc. are standard DOS devices, but there could be others; it's impossible to list them all. For the list of standard DOS devices, look in any good book about DOS. DJGPP sets things up so that /dev/foo and foo wind up calling the same device driver, so you could use both. > Is it possible to map new > devices into the DJGPP bash ... like setting a certain printer to /dev/lp0? I don't understand the question, sorry. What do you mean by ``map new devices'', exactly? Can you tell the details? > (alias only works for command names) Bash has variables as well as aliases.
