NAME
PatchDevice
VERSION
PatchDevice 1.1 by Thomas Kessler (6.9.95)
SYNOPSIS
PatchDevice OLDNAME/M,NEWNAME/A,QUIET/S
FUNCTION
PatchDevice is a tool to patch the name of a device to
another name.
Some programs use hardcoded devicenames, like 'serial.device'
or 'parallel.device'. Also various controller-tools for
'xxxscsi.device' or similar use hardcoded names.
With PatchDevice you can change the names of these devices
to names which your system needs.
Remove the patch with sending a ctrl-c to the process or use
the 'C:Break' command.
INPUTS
OLDNAME/M/A old (hardcoded) names
NEWNAME/A new (your) name
QUIET/S no text-output
NOTE
If you want to start PatchDevice in your user-startup, you
will have to 'Run' it.
"Run <>NIL: PatchDevice 8n1.device serial.device myser.device QUIET"

Support for unit-numbers has been dropped, because nobody
seems to need it. If you want to have a unit-support, please
contact me via email.
