on earth, extension matching would be fine. Unless you have rogue developers that "try" and break the system by changing file formation while keeping extensions the same (save it as a jpg, but it is really a gif format) you should not have a problem. If you do have rogue developers, or even developers that can't follow simple instructions such as "hey, if it is not a jpeg then don't save it as a jpeg!" then you have much larger problems. ie. maybe the inmates of San Quinton do not make the idea development team. sean. _______________________________________________ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
