i suspect i'm not the only lynx-dever who would be interested
to learn more about /dev/fd & /proc/self/fd :
the former exists on this system (IRIX 5.3) as a directory,
but the latter doesn't: there's only /proc (a directory);
/dev & /proc both contain large numbers of wierd-looking entries;
my detailed notes on Kernighan & Pike say nothing.
would you be willing to give (most of) us a brief lesson?
