Think like certain apps (or users) from a certain closed OS.. "Type" is conveyed by file extension. Therefore, since the original filename and extension is mentioned, so is the "type". MIME-Type??? What's that?? Text/Plain?? That's the format, not the file type. The file types in question were of course "init" and "sysconfig".. Were you expecting files of that type? <g> .. All according to the common parsing rules of this very common closed OS, of course.. -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
