Short: New NULL device and RunBack replacement
Type: util/cli
Uploader: Andreas_Kleinert@t-online.de
Author: Gunnar Nordmark, Andreas R. Kleinert, various
Since AmigaOS' NIL: isn't a real device, this could
lead to problems sometimes.
There once was a real NULL: device handler on
an old fish disk - so I decided polishing it
again a little bit. There also was a "RunBack"
tool available that did an Execute() (C:Run)
call using the NULL: device as Input and Output
handles - however nowadays System() is the
better choice. So I just wrote a new one in C.
All you have to do, is to copy the NULL device
entry to Devs:DOSHandlers and the actual handler
to L:
Original - respectively rewritten - sources
and documentation included.
