   NAME
	PatchDevice

   VERSION
	PatchDevice 1.1 by Thomas Kessler (6.9.95)

   SYNOPSIS
	PatchDevice OLDNAME/M,NEWNAME/A,QUIET/S

   FUNCTION
	PatchDevice is a tool to patch the name of a device to
	another name.
	
	Some programs use hardcoded devicenames, like 'serial.device'
	or 'parallel.device'. Also various controller-tools for
	'xxxscsi.device' or similar use hardcoded names.

	With PatchDevice you can change the names of these devices
	to names which your system needs.

	Remove the patch with sending a ctrl-c to the process or use
	the 'C:Break' command.

   INPUTS
	OLDNAME/M/A	old (hardcoded) names

	NEWNAME/A	new (your) name

	QUIET/S		no text-output

   NOTE
	If you want to start PatchDevice in your user-startup, you
	will have to 'Run' it.

	"Run <>NIL: PatchDevice 8n1.device serial.device myser.device QUIET"

	Support for unit-numbers has been dropped, because nobody
	seems to need it. If you want to have a unit-support, please
	contact me via email.
