Server-side globbing is unnecessary, but it helps saving bandwidth. On a server with no content summary in a file, it can help to find a file hidden in subdirectories without the headache of a recursive listing. For instance, listing */gnome*.rpm is handy to find that gnome-core.rpm and gnome-lib.rpm are located in the "gn1" directory. -- -=- Frank DENIS aka Jedi/Sector One <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -=- "If Bill Gates had a dime for every time a Windows box crashed... ...
