> Probably it was a typo and you meant Plan 9, not Plan B. No, I assumed that Plan B would have a bit more elbow room to be creative in this instance, I'm not sure why I thought so. I think, of all "failures of vision", the slash in the path name was the worst (and by no means as serious as some of the bloopers in other operating systems). One can live with it, but once it's pointed out to you that it is not "the one and only way", it starts being a thorn in one's side.
++L PS: Mind you, you still need a convenient external representation and that will put its own twist on it. But one can live with the extra freedom :-)
