I was just wondering whether anybody knows of the existence of:
    
- an implementation of a ^Z/fg mechanism (I realize bg is hopeless), either 
  keeping the program in memory or writing it to a swapfile,

- a nulldevice on n:, implemented as a ramdisk which just throws everything 
  away when written to and gives zeros when read from,

- a way to intercept Tools dvi.prg output to the printer to store in a 
  file, which I can print in the background using the GPshell lpr command,
	
- a faster & better linker for Absoft Fortran, the official one I have does 
  not link externals, does not link f77.rl, and is slow.  for debugging I 
  link dynamically, but at 10 min/point this is getting expensive,

Thanks,

PS.  Are there any other quantum field hackers on the net?
