NAME
PatchDevice
VERSION
PatchDevice 1.0 by Thomas Kessler (29.4.95)
SYNOPSIS
PatchDevice OLDNAME/A,NEWNAME/A,OLDUNIT/N,NEWUNIT/N,FORCE/S,QUIET/S
FUNCTION
PatchDevice is a tool to patch the name and unit of a device to
another name and unit.
Some programs use hardcoded devicenames, like 'serial.device'
or 'parallel.device'. Also various controller-tools for
'xxxscsi.device' or similar use hardcoded names or units.
With PatchDevice you can change these names and units of the
devices to names and units which your system needs.
If the new specified device is not available in the system,
PatchDevice informs you about that (see FORCE/S).
Remove the patch with sending a ctrl-c to the process or use
the 'C:Break' command.
INPUTS
OLDNAME/A old (hardcoded) name
NEWNAME/A new (your) name
OLDUNIT/N old unit number
NEWUNIT/N new unit number
FORCE/S force installation also if newname is not available
in the system.
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 serial.device mymegaserial.device QUIET"
