>Description:

	`man pty` shows the following:

	FILES
	/dev/pty[p-r][0-9a-f]   master pseudo terminals
	/dev/tty[p-r][0-9a-f]   slave pseudo terminals

	When, in reality, [p-sP-S][0-9a-v] appears to be the useable
	range.

>How-To-Repeat:

	`man pty` and look at the Files section. :)

>Fix:
*** pty.4.orig	Mon May 27 23:02:23 1996
