What's more, it has peers: "prn", "com1" and others like that. I don't know what the right way to handle these is (I'm no Windows guru, or even regular user), but it's important to realize that the pain of the specialness isn't limited. :-) -Fred -- Fred Drake <fdrake at acm.org> _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
