Thank you for the information. Sorry if I implied I wanted to re-invent the wheel but actually this feedback is exactly what I was looking for. I wanted to know existing methods to do just such operations. Also good point about the file browsers the only limitation to them is how much they understand the format. So since tar looks like an excellent option for what I want to do, I have another question before I begin my research. Do you already know if any of these formats offer file locking with in them, ;et me say that better. Can I open a, as example, tar file and lock a file with in it, with out locking the entire tar archive? Just asking if you already know if this is possible? Thank you again for the information! <SNIPED> _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
