What about 'HISTORY'?

I'd be interested to know whether anybody uses that device at all.

When I used to have more than one QL networked to another, I arbitrarily
referred to the networked drives as ndk_ (after fdk ... i.e.,
Network DisK) regardless of its actual physical type.
Does that make sense?
Is that what you wanted to know?

Like FDV and FDK there were some interfaces with HDK...
Ah, I did not know about this. Although being a hard disk system it
would use the same icon as WIN I guess.
I think NUL is definitively not a directory device ! It is like CON,
SCR, PIPE, NET, MEM, etc...
OK.

Hi Dilwyn,
What about 'HISTORY'?
History might be useful. I have actually never used it myself which is
why I did not think of it. But I am not sure if it is a directory
device driver as such? There are some devices I am not sure if they
qualify as such, perhaps expert opinion on this list
I think I have seen it used in a program listing I looked at recently,
either from Duncan Neithercutt or George Gwilt, though I can't
remember what the program was, probably some kind of screen saver or
pointer programming utility, as I was studying some routine or other
at the time.

Because nobody has the same tastes, it might be wiser to simply
provides the list of defined icons, and allow an unlimited list of
association
with any device.
Also, being able to 'dynamically' (no recompile or heavy
manipulation)
add new icons to the list of possible value would be greater!
For your information Wolfgang I do.
I have written a screen mode/size button frame button that changes the
screen size/mode on the Q40,Q60,Aurora and stores the current size in a
public history device. This enables my screen saver program Nightfall to
know the correct screen size/mode to return

I use the HISTORY device all the time. I learn about shell history using
Unix. The QL History device is
