Description:
The Kasoft AddressDevice module provides a filing system "address" which
allows blocks of memory treated as files. The filing system behaves like a
system device in many respects.
The filing system special field (introduced by a "#" symbol after the filing
system name) gives the address of the memory containing the file block. The
address field is parsed by OS_ReadUnsigned with base 16 (hexadecimal) assumed.
Filenames on "address" are ignored, and usually null filenames are used. The
behaviour of "address" is like that of a file with no name, so that
"address#8000:" and "address#9000:" are different files, even though they
share the same (null) filename.
