-
- DEV enables manipulation of Z3 redirectable I/O device drivers. It allows
- the user to display the names of the current devices and select them. Unlike
- DEVICE.COM, DEV accepts all input from the cmd line and is not interactive.
- Vs 1.0 (4/84) by R. Conn.

- DEV Notes
-
- a. Vs 1.1a strips high bits from ECFB characters in help screens.
-
- b. Vs 1.1 makes DEV respond to the WHEEL and QUIET bytes to make it a
- viable tool on on IOP-based RAS. DEV now requires WHEEL powers to work at
- all. With the QUIET byte set, all display options are disabled while device
- assignment proceeds as per 1.0, but with no CON: output. In combination with
- WHEEL 3.1 or later and T3RAS.IOP, this allows BYE.COM to be a VALIAS/SALIAS-
- style recursive alias. TERM3 supplies the other required tools (T3HANGUP and
- T3ANSWER).
-
- c. Vs 1.1 also implements a smarter help message using the EXTERNAL FCP and
- QUIET byte and adds ZCPR33 TYPE 3 environment code.
