(As such, > corel.com-wordperfect, or similar might be a better example) I should mention here that the Debian run-parts utility (used in many *.d/ situations) will currently only run files with names from [-_a-zA-Z0-9] exclusively. This is handy because most backup methods use either ~ or . in names, and those backups thus get automatically excluded. So this means allowing "." breaks a very convenient rule. MfG Kai
