It was whatever was Al Viro's (technical) complaint about file-as-dir. I don't remember exactly what it was. The technical people know what it is (and the Namesys guys are probably working on it), and the exact issue doesn't concern us non-technical people that much, so I don't feel like looking it up. But if you want to, just look for Al Viro's message in this thread. -- Hubert Chan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - http://www.uhoreg.ca/ PGP/GnuPG key: 1024D/124B61FA Fingerprint: 96C5 012F 5F74 A5F7 1FF7 5291 AF29 C719 124B 61FA Key available at wwwkeys.pgp.net.
