since the filenames themselves do not conflict, i see no reason for all kind of redundant context prefixes in filenames and directories; at least i'm not going to do that and i'm also not going to adapt my local scripts to deal with it (the zip builders and such); anyhow, the zip's will be on the collection dvd anyway so users can install them then Hans _______________________________________________ dev-context mailing list [email protected] http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/dev-context
