maybe if you try to pronounce it, but imho, making "metas" a reserved name is not a good idea and is very ugly. taking a somewhat common word (though "meta" is probably more common than "metas") and reserving seems like a huge wart to me. if you have to reserve an inband name, it should be one that, while containing mostly a descriptive english word, doesn't trample regular filenames (eg, more than one dot). and finally, i hate the 's'. 8) for one thing, it might only contain only one file. -- Tom Vier <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> DSA Key ID 0x15741ECE
