You are quite correct. I will fix this. Thanks for pointing it out. BTW, can anyone explain why many (most?) people suggest running ``sh MAKEDEV <device>'' rather than ``./MAKEDEV <device'' (assuming both are preceded by ``cd /dev'')? The first line of /dev/MAKEDEV is: #!/bin/sh - so irrespective of which shell the user runs MAKEDEV from it will always be executed under sh(1).
