Devices
=======

   A device is -- like a library (see  Libraries) -- a collection of
functions/procedures, which have to do certain jobs.

   E.g. the `trackdisk.device' includes functions for the floppy disk
handling.

Column items
------------

`Address'
     Address of the device structure

`ln_Name'
     Name of a device

`ln_Pri'
     Priority of a device

`OpenC'
     This element shows how often the device was opened.

`RPC'
     `RPC' means `RAM Pointer Count' and shows how many jump addresses
     of the device point into RAM.  In this way many programs -- like
     the `setpatch' command from Commodore -- patch the system.

     Many viruses patch the system in this way too, but don't panic now.
     If you check your system in regular intervals with a current virus
     killer, it should be out of danger.

     If the whole program code of the device is located in RAM, you will
     find a dash (minus sign) here, because in this case it's
     unimportant how many jump addresses point into RAM.

`ln_Type'
     Type of this structure (usually `device')

Actions
-------

`Update'
     If you select this gadget, the list of devices will be updated.

`Print'
     This function allows you to send the list of `Devices' to printer
     or a selected file.

`Remove'
     The selected device will be removed with this function provided
     that no program uses this device anymore and the `OpenC' is zero.

`Priority'
     Herewith the priority of the device can be changed.  A little
     window will be opened, that asks you for a new priority.  Through
     the new priority it can happen that the device gets a new place in
     the device list.

`More'
     Another window will be opened and you will see more informations
     about the selected device.

     You will have the same effect, if you doubleclick an element of the
     device list.

`Exit'
     The `Devices' window will be closed.
