Hi,
	In Irix 3.3.1 (on 4D70GT) the file "/usr/include/sys/major.h"
says that the Major device ID numbers 60 to 79 are reserved for customer
use. We have a driver which uses a Major device ID of 99 (this was 
written earlier). I noticed that major.h did not exist on 3.2 . Are the
restrictions on Major Device ID's new to 3.3.1 and, is there a problem with
using a non reserved major ID ? 

Thanks,
