You are quite correct. I will fix this. Thanks for pointing it out.

BTW, can anyone explain why many (most?) people suggest running ``sh
MAKEDEV <device>'' rather than ``./MAKEDEV <device'' (assuming both
are preceded by ``cd /dev'')?

The first line of /dev/MAKEDEV is:

    #!/bin/sh -

so irrespective of which shell the user runs MAKEDEV from it will
always be executed under sh(1).

Is this just another historical thing?
