On a purely personal note (does that make it OT?), I think I am beginning to accept, at a pretty advanced age, that just understanding LC coding is not really enough to get stuff done. Linux for example I have managed to avoid, and many other technologies… perhaps learning all this stuff is good use of one’s time in lockdown (I’m in the UK at the moment). Can’t spend all one’s time on the bike trainer…

So, Richard, if you have time to expand a bit on Linux virtual directories, I’d be grateful. But only if you have time.
