It occurs to me that a better way to do this would be to hash the string, and break it out into separate files based on the hash. I think you're much more likely to end up with a nice distribution of entries over files that way. The path-based approach is likely to need constant "tweaking" to accomodate different installations and changes in the system itself. (I'm not sure this is the most important issue to solve in this area, though.) -- James Carlson, KISS Network <james.d.carlson at sun.com> Sun Microsystems / 1 Network Drive 71.232W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.496N Fax +1 781 442 1677
