Neither had Macs. The only reason to use that brain-dead file naming convention is to accomodate the brain-dead file system used in a certain brain-dead operating system. The best response to the suit would be to tell users of that brain-dead operating system to upgrade to Unix or a Mac. I think one could make the case that suing over this is an abusive restraint on normal trade. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
