There's a giant hole in this. Suppose I'm a hypothetical vendor of 5"-wide plastic coasters with holes in the centre (so you can hang them on a hook or nail). Hypothetically, for US$399.95, I'll ship you a coaster that can be inserted into certain CD-ROM drives and, when mounted, will appear to contain a file MusiXTeX.tar.gz, with some data in it. For the same price, at your option, I'll ship you a coaster that when used in the same way will appear to contain a file with the same name but zero length. Hypothetically, you can put any size beverage container on both types of coaster. They make great liners for the automatically retractable cup holders that come with many desktop computers these days. However, for reasons I won't disclose because they are marketing information confidential to my hypothetical marketing business, I hypothetically believe that I will ship many more units of the former type of coaster. -- Zygo Blaxell, Linux Engineer, Corel Corporation, [EMAIL PROTECTED] (work), [EMAIL PROTECTED] (play).
