Is that implemented in the shell or in the Cygwwin libc emulation itself ? > This could in theory implemented in a compatible way. I think a better alternative may be to do something like the POSIX (was thet really POSIX or something else ?) version number scheme, e.g. file "xyz" with versions 1, 2 and 9 can be accessed via "xyz;1", "xyz;2" and "xyz;9"... substreams could then be addressed via "xyz;name_of_xattrfile" ... ---- Bye, Roland -- __ . . __ (o.\ \/ /.o) roland.mainz at nrubsig.org \__\/\/__/ MPEG specialist, C&&JAVA&&Sun&&Unix programmer /O /==\ O\ TEL +49 641 7950090 (;O/ \/ \O;)
