Let me settle this categorically (although I can't imagine why
this discussion is in this newsgroup).

There are certain reserved file names in DOS.  When you use one
of these names, the directory is ignored.  For example:
\DEV\NUL  is the same as \NUL is the same as \FOO\NUL.
The same goes for PRN. etc.

For example, DOS will not let you name a file NUL in *any*
directory (try it and see).

The official name ends in a colon, NUL: etc
but even without the colon these are reserved names.

At one time, I discovered that \DEV\NUL would also work and I too
made the mistake of thinking that DOS recognized  the \DEV.
As a matter of fact, I wrote this in Peter Norton's DOS book
(which I revised twice).  However, the truth was pointed out
 to me by Randall Howard (president of MKS -- makers of MKS Toolkit)
[what a name dropping expedition this is turning out to be]
who knows everything about everything.  He told me it was the
FILENAME, not the directory name which was reserved.
In fact, you can't even make a file called NUL.FOO (try it)
or for that matter NUL.BAR.

Obligatory joke:

Unix uses "null"
DOS uses "nul"

Riddle: Why does the DOS convention remind you of Christmas?

OK, after being flamed by every moron with a DOS box in the known
universe, I figured I'd better try it.

Results of my experiments:

\dev\nul is valid

\dev\null is not valid.

I tested this under DOS 5.  Sorry, I don't have DOS 3.1 handy, and I
don't really care anyway.

The Microsoft (R) MS-DOS (R) version 5.0 manual clearly says on page
510 that the nul device exists in all directories, and doesn't exist
in directories that don't exist.  That was the basis of my original
posting.  If the system has bugs or was documented incorrectly, that's
not my problem.

Yawn,

    I believe you're looking for a quote from the Hitchiker's Guide to
the Galaxy THGG . I'm not certain but I think it goes as follows.

The Universe ( some information to help you live in it )

1. Size- Infinite.
        The HGG offers the following definition of Infinite. Bigger
than the biggest thing ever and then some, much larger than that in
fact. Really amazingly huge; real WOWEEE That's BIG time...*etc.*
2. Inports- None. It is impossible to import goods into an infinite
area, there being no outside to import them from.
3. Exports- None.  see Imports.

4. Population- None, contrary to popular belief and this fact can be
easily proved. We know there are an infinite number of planets simply
because there is an infinite amount of space for them to occupy. But,
not all of these planets are inhabited; So there must be a finite
number of inhabited planets.
    Now any Finite number divided by Infinity gives as close to zero
as makes no odds so the average population of the Universe can be
said to be zero. It follows that the population of the entire
universe must also be zero and any people you may meet in your
travels are merely the product of a deranged imagination.

** it contiues through more interesting facts but I think thats what
you want. In case you're wondering his logic breaks down when he
assumes there can only be a Finite number of inhabited planets when
in actuality there would be an infinite series of inhabited planets
contained within the series of total planets. Not that it matters
because the universe probably isn't infinite in volume anyway.

Another little letout from the darker corners of my memory...

When west and east Germany rejoined a few years back, one of the
german goverments first aims was to integrate the two economies.
Among many enterprises, Mercedes Benz bought thier way into east-german
industry.
Now the result of their research has come: A luxus-coupe with 
steam-engine...

Amusing TRUE history:
The englishmen have always wanted to be the masters of the seas.
Some times they have miscalculated. The most intriguing failure so far,
was their numerous trials with submarine destroyers back in 1913.
They lost all 11 ships and more than 1000 english seamen drowned...

Another TRUE store:
One must congratulate on the miraculous luck of the president of
the Philippines' state lottery. He most amazingly won several millions
of dollar, as he had the winner ticket. Charges of trickery was
hotly brushed off. As far as I know, the case was dropped.

Yet another true story.
Two years ago, in Norway, a man making moonshine at home, accidentally
blowed up his home. The insurance company refused to pay as the damage
was caused by illegal activity, but after the lawyer argumented that
moonshining in Norway must be regarded as a common home industry
- the naked truth in Norway - the company repaid about 70 percent
of the loss.

With reality this weird, who needs fantasy worlds?

I'll be back...

I remember watching the Falcon race out of the Death Star, looking as if it was
going to be overcome by flames, thinking "no way in hell could the facon
suddenly accelerate to safety" and then a few frames later escpaing the Death
Star just as the flames burst out of the Death Star.  The cut to Endor shows
the Death Star going Nova, and I recall thinking "no way in hell could the

Since it was a trinary machine, we'd expect it to overflow at
something like 27 characters.  Since it instead occured at 33, we can
deduce it was either a TCH (Trinary Coded Hexidecimal) machine, using
the sum of 16 trinary elements to represent each five-bit value, or it
was just a joke.
