Hey, sounds like the idea I proposed a couple months ago of storing the path names in each file, instead of in directories. Only better, since each path component isn't text but a link instead. It still has the performance and locking problem of having to update every child file when moving a directory tree to a new parent. On the other hand, maybe the benefit is worth the cost. --=20 Jonathan Briggs eSoft, Inc. --=-xAS1uxFf0+ZoZHNTpMdX Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBCzChnG8fHaOLTWwgRApXpAJwJ2y/fZTbJ+UTqwm7DMQuSsQAinwCdGLU5 klm5bQKQNZWXO28y/3togzQ= =yPew -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-xAS1uxFf0+ZoZHNTpMdX--
