One wonders what measure of efficiency you're using, but frankly, I fail to believe that there are only two ways of storing matching files as few times as possible. Hashed pointers to a pseudo-directory system comes to mind immediately, a scheme that's in use in at least one system. At any rate, what problem are we trying to address? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
