"bin", "proc" , "sys", "lib", they're all straight forward ( I hope ), but 'usr' has some degree of ambiguity, especially when some platforms ( looking at you Apple ) have a literal /User which is not correspondent to /usr, and you have to be careful not to enter a disambiguation problem in communicating this to people because they're likely to put the "e" in there. -- Kent perl -e "print substr( \"edrgmaM SPA nocomil.i...@tfrken\", \$_ * 3, 3 ) for ( 9,8,0,7,1,6,5,4,3,2 );" http://kent-fredric.fox.geek.nz
