Hello managers,

two of those things i don't understand are these:

-> why does sometimes a "cd ~/dir" hang, while after a Ctrl_C
   a "cd /home/user/dir" works without "visible" delay?

-> why does a "MAKEDEV rz3 rz6" result in special device files
   /dev/*rz3* and *rz6*,
   while a "MAKEDEV tz3 tz6" result in special device files
   /dev/*rmt0* and *rmt1*?
   (If, of course there aren't any *rmt* before)

I have seen both features(?) since i use Ultrix and Digital Unix
(all versions).

With regards,

Bernt Christandl
