Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Mailing-List: contact cygwin-help@cygwin.com; run by ezmlm Precedence: bulk List-Id: List-Subscribe: List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: , Sender: cygwin-owner@cygwin.com Mail-Followup-To: cygwin@cygwin.com X-SW-Source: 2008-06/txt/msg00339.txt.bz2 Should "devices.in" really have a limit of 16 "/dev/com" ports when the "ttyS" ports are allowed up to 64 values (max of 63 since it is a zero-based index)? I changed the upper limit on the "com" range for 1.5.25 to "64" along with the "ttyS" range and it compiles and allows using the "/dev/com" aliases above 16 ports without a problem. Yet when using a recent snapshot only "ttyS" ports work above the 16th port. The "/dev/com" identifiers beyond "16" do not open. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
