[comp.sys.apple2] GS: Interesting questions

TE880714@BANUFS11.BITNET (Stef Bracke) (04/11/90)

Hello all,

In my spare time, I like to examine programs, like GS/OS...
This time, I'm looking at the Cdevs.
Somehow, I found out that it is possible to make the icon of a cdev
appear during startup. Is this for the current Cdevs or for the ones to come?
These Cdevs use an Icon fork, a Data fork and a Flag fork. (Excuse me, I have
it wrong.). Isn't there a program to investigate those forks. (An Iconeditor
maybe?)
Also, Cdevs are stored different on mediums. Is it similar to the normal
format but just with another Storage type number?
Finally, how can I make a Cdev myself?

Please, keep in mind, that it is extremely (costly) difficult for me to
consult any GS/OS manual, or to phone or fax to the States.
Any help appreciated.

                                     Stef
