Hey there, this site is pretty old now. I've decided to leave it up as I put a lot of work into it and would hate to see it disappear.

Yes, all in the sake of backwards compability to DOS days where there were shortcut "files" which pointed to physical devices (i.e. a printer) so that a program could "save" something but have the output actually run to the printer. A bit f-ed up, possibly, to still reserve those filenames after all these years. |
