I think it would be useful if the "directory" could also be an archive in certain common and widely-supported formats (gzipped tarball and PKWare ZIP being the most important ones to support IMO; probably should go for bzip2ed tarball also and maybe disk images containing ISO filesystems if a suitably unencumbered extant code library can be found for reading them). -- $;=sub{$/};@;=map{my($a,$b)=($_,$;);$;=sub{$a.$b->()}} split//,"[EMAIL PROTECTED]/ --";$\=$ ;-> ();print$/
